Lyrics

FIRST TO LEAVE

verse1
A PERFECTLY MADE BED FOR MAKING LOVE
A SHINING DINING ROOM THAT'S NEVER SEEN A CRUMB
TROPHY WIFE, IVY LEAGUE SON
LOOKS LIKE HE'S LEADING THE LIFE ASK ANYONE

chorus1
BUT THE LAST TIME THEY MADE LOVE HE CAN'T REMEMBER
CAN'T RECALL THE LAST TIME THEY AGREED
AND THE LAST REASON ON EARTH THEY STAY TOGETHER
IS NO ONE'S GONNA BE? FIRST TO LEAVE

verse2
MANICURED LAWN, FOUR CAR GARAGE
SHE WORKS ON A YEAR ROUND TAN, HE PLAYS GOLF
THEY'RE OUT TIL DAWN, CAN'T MAX OUT CREDIT CARDS
LOOKS LIKE WORKING HARD'S GOT ITS REWARDS? DON'T IT?

chorus2
repeat

bridge
I DROP DOWN TO MY KNEES I THANK GOD THAT'S NOT ME
'CAUSE THERE ARE THINGS HIS MONEY CAN'T BUY
LIKE A GENTLE KISS, BEING LOVED, BEING MISSED
THEY'RE ALL OUT OF HIS LEAGUE
PRICED WAY TOO HIGH

verse3
AN UNMADE BED
FROM MAKING LOVE
A FORMICA KITCHEN ALWAYS COVERED IN CRUMBS
MY WIFE'S MY FRIEND
WE GOT THREE GREAT KIDS
AND YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON THIS LIFE I LIVE

chorus3
THE LAST TIME WE MADE LOVE WAS THIS MORNING
AND YEAH, SOMETIMES WE MAY DISAGREE
BUT A LOVE THAT LASTS IS KEEPING US TOGETHER
AND NO ONE'S GONNA FIRST TO LEAVE
NO ONE'S GONNA BE FIRST TO LEAVE
NO ONE'S GONNA BE? FIRST TO LEAVE
