It began I believe when Adam found Eve he woke up and made her his wife
On that very first day she asked in dismay am I the first girl in your life
Wives don't like old girlfriends you know that's a fact of life
Wives don't like old girlfriends and girlfriends don't like old wives
[ guitar ]
Now if you don't lie I'll bet every guy has an old flame that he thinks about
Wives pretend not to care but to her it's as clear as if you were thinking out loud
Wives don't like old girlfriends...
[ guitar ]
Oh it's an awful sad affair and though it's not there anywhere
Wives don't like old girlfriends...
[ fiddle - guitar - piano ]
