He comes on over, wants to drown his sorrows
Got a two-seater sofa and some whiskey in a bottle
Broken, in tears, with the weight of the world on his shoulder

Oh my God, Sam, what’s happened to ya? Says his
Wife’s just left with his two-year-old daughter
To live in Acapulco with some idiot she only met a couple months ago.

I wish I could tell you that
If it was me, I would be a good wife,
I would never doubt you,
Ours would be a good life
We could be better than so many
I would never stress you about bringing home the plenty

For all these things, another life I'll have to wait,
Would have been perfect, if only God had wanted it,
You’ll never know it, we’ll get old,
Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder

You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life

Somebody once told me that there are watchers and there are doers in this world,
Guess I’m a watcher, not by choice, it’s just what I deserve
We’re just two friends, it's not a risky situation

I wish I could tell you that
If it was me, I would be a good wife,
I would never doubt you,
Ours would be a good life
We could be better than so many
I would never stress you about bringing home the plenty

For all these things, another life I'll have to wait,
Would have been perfect, if only God had wanted it,
You’ll never know it, we’ll get old,
Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder

You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life

Rest your head upon my shoulder
(I'm so tired to conceal)
Now that life’s a little colder
(I could love you simply)
Even if you’ll never know
(Wouldn't leave if it was me)
My love will never run away like sunshine
Good time friend not just the good time

For all these things, another life I'll have to wait,
Would have been perfect, if only God had wanted it,
You’ll never know it, we’ll get old,
Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder

You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life
