“What CD is this Darin song on?”

      Oh … the good life
      Full of fun seems to be the ideal
      Yes, the good life
      Lets 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 that I still want you
      And in case you wonder why
      Well … just wake up
      And kiss that good life goodbye.

      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 want you
      And in case you wonder why
      Well … just wake up
      And kiss that good life goodbye.

Takata goon goon goon …
