The Good Life / I Wanna Be Around (Live at Sony Studios, New York City, NY - April 1994)
[Part I: The Good Life]

[Intro]
Oh, the good life, full of fun
Seems to be the ideal
Yes, the good life
That makes you hide all the sadness you feel

[Verse 1]
You won't really fall in love
For you can't take the chance
So just be honest with yourself
Don't try to fake romance

[Chorus]
Yes, the good life to be free
And explore the unknown
Just like the heartache
When you learn you must face life alone

[Verse 2]
So just remember, I still want you
And in case you wonder why
Well, just wake up
Kiss the good life, goodbye
[Part II: I Wanna Be Around]

[Verse 3]
'Cause I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
Somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody twice as smart as I
Somebody who would swear to be true
Like you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn
That misery loves company
Wait and see

[Verse 4]
I mean I wanna be around to see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if that puzzle really fits so fine
That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applauding from a front-row seat
When somebody breaks your heart just like you broke mine

[Outro]
When somebody breaks your heart just like you broke mine
Oh yeah

[Live Outro]
Wow, haha
