Oh, the good life, full of fun
Seems to be the ideal
Yes, the good life let's you hide
All the sadness you feel

You won't really fall in love
For you can't take the chance
So be honest with yourself
Don't try to fake romance

It's the good life
To be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartaches
When you learn you must face them alone

Please remember, I still love you
And in case you don't know
Well, just wake up
Kiss the good life 'good bye'

MY MAMA DONE TOL' ME,
WHEN I WAS IN PIG TAILS
MY MAMA DONE TOL' ME,
HON! A MAN'S GONNA SWEET TALK
AND GIVE YA THE BIG EYE;
BUT WHEN THE SWEET TALKIN'S DONE,
A MAN IS A TWO FACE
A WORRISOME THING
WHO'LL LEAVE YA T'SING
THE BLUES IN THE NIGHT
NOW THE RAIN'S A FALLIN',
HEAR THE TRAIN A CALLIN'
WHOO-EE (MY MAMA DONE TOL' ME)
HEAR THAT LONESOME WHISTLE
BLOWIN' CROSS THE TRESTLE,
WHOO-EE (MY MAMA DONE TOL' ME)
A WHOO-EE-DUH-WHOO-EE, OL' CLICKETY CLACK'S
A ECHOIN' BACK TH' BLUES IN THE NIGHT
THE EVENIN' BREEZE'LL START THE TREES TO CRYIN'
AND THE MOON WILL HIDE ITS LIGHT
WHEN YOU GET THE BLUES IN THE NIGHT
TAKE MY WORD, THE MOCKIN' BIRD'LL
SING THE SADDEST KIND O' SONG
HE KNOWS THINGS ARE WRONG AND HE'S RIGHT
OH OH
FROM NATCHEZ TO MOBILE,
FROM MEMPHIS TO ST. JOE,
WHEREVER THE FOUR WINDS BLOW,
I BEEN IN SOME BIG TOWNS,
I HEARD ME SOME BIG TALK,
BUT THERE IS ONE THING I KNOW
A MAN IS A TWO FACE,
A WORRISOME THING
WHO'LL LEAVE YA T'SING
THE BLUES IN THE NIGHT
OH OH
MY MAMA WAS RIGHT, MY MAMA WAS RIGHT
THERE'S BLUES IN THE NIGHT

I KNOW TOO WELL THAT I'M JUST WASTING PRECIOUS TIME
IN THINKING SUCH A THING COULD BE
THAT YOU COULD EVER CARE FOR ME
I'M SURE YOU HATE TO HEAR
THAT I ADORE YOU, DEAR
BUT GRANT ME
JUST THE SAME
I'M NOT ENTIRELY TO BLAME
FOR LOVE
YOU'D BE SO EASY TO LOVE
SO EASY TO IDOLIZE
ALL OTHERS ABOVE
SO WORTH THE YEARNING FOR
SO SWELL TO KEEP EVERY HOME FIRE BURNING FOR
WE'D BE SO GRAND AT THE GAME
SO CAREFREE TOGETHER
THAT IT DOES SEEM A SHAME
THAT YOU CAN'T SEE
YOUR FUTURE WITH ME
CAUSE YOU'D BE OH, SO EASY TO LOVE

OH, YOU CAN KISS ME ON A MONDAY
A MONDAY, A MONDAY IS VERY, VERY GOOD
OR YOU CAN KISS ME ON A TUESDAY
A TUESDAY, A TUESDAY, IN FACT I WISH YOU WOULD
OR YOU CAN KISS ME ON A WEDNESDAY
A THURSDAY, A FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IS BEST
BUT NEVER, NEVER ON A SUNDAY
A SUNDAY, A SUNDAY, 'CAUSE THAT'S MY DAY OF REST
MOST ANY DAY YOU CAN BE MY GUEST
ANY DAY YOU SAY, BUT MY DAY OF REST
JUST NAME THE DAY THAT YOU LIKE THE BEST
ONLY STAY AWAY ON MY DAY OF REST
OH, YOU CAN KISS ME ON A COOL DAY, A HOT DAY
A WET DAY, WHICH EVERYONE YOU CHOOSE
OR TRY TO KISS ME ON A GRAY DAY, A MAY DAY
A PAY DAY, AND SEE IF I REFUSE
AND IF YOU MAKE IT ON A BLEAK DAY
A FREAK DAY, A WEEK DAY, WHY YOU CAN BE MY GUEST
BUT NEVER, NEVER ON A SUNDAY
