Tony Bennett – Good Life lyrics
Oh, the good life
Full of fun, seems to be the ideal
Mmm, 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 please, 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 want you
And in case, you wonder why...
Well, just wake up
Kiss the good life goodbye...

    There are two different "Good Lives" in the song. The first verse alludes to what you'd call the high life i.e. vapid, irresponsible hedonistic lifestyle free of responsibility and, ultimately, real emotions like heartache.

    The second verse explores the good life we pursue when we are true to ourselves and the pain that we may expose ourselves to but a life lived honestly nonetheless. The singer implores the person who's living the false good life to abandon it for the second version.

    He's still in love. The question to her is "do you know why?"
    He says to wake up (fall in love ) and you'll understand why. And when you're in love, you'll kiss the good life goodbye (which he's already explained is not really good. The Good Life is really being with someone.)
