She prob'ly works in a restaurant

That's what her mama did

But I don't know if she ever really coulda put up with that

Or maybe she sings in a nightclub

'Cause sometimes she used to sing

But I don't know if it ever amounted to anything

Chorus

But listen honey, wherever you are tonight

I wish you the best of everything in the world

And I hope you found, whatever you were looking for

Yeah and it's over before you know it

It all goes by so fast

Yeah the bad nights take forever

And the good nights don't ever seem to last

And man, we never had the real thing

But sometimes we used to kiss

Back when we didn't understand

What we were caught up in

(Repeat Chorus)
