(michael peterson/arlos smith)

Everybody's wavin' good-bye to joe
His wife called, last call...he's gotta go
Kinda brings a tear, to every single guy
I admire his dedication, he's a family man
Thirteen years had a ring on his hand
Kinda makes me wonder, if i should give it a try

Well i would if i could, but i can't so i won't
They're sayin' i do, i'm sayin' i don't
I won't regret it, one single minute
'cause love's great when you're not in it

No curtains on the windows, just a couple sheets
Tv dinners, my life is complete
Ain't no one more committed...i love the single life
If i want to, i can put on my cleanest dirty shirt
Stay out all night for better or worse
Just look what i'd be missin', if i had a wife

Well i would if i could, but i can't so i won't
They're sayin' i do, i'm sayin' i don't
I won't regret it, one single minute
'cause love's great when you're not in it

Well i would if i could, but i can't so i won't
They're sayin' i do, i'm sayin' i don't
I won't regret it, one single minute
'cause love's great when you're not in it

I would if i could, but i can't so i won't
They're sayin' i do, i'm sayin' i don't
I won't regret it, one single minute
'cause love's great when you're not in it
