Wives Don’t Like Old Girlfriends

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

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
You know that's a fact of life
Wives don't like old girlfriends
And girlfriends don't like old wives

Oh, it's an awful sad affair
And though it's not goin' anywhere

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

You know that's a fact of life

And girlfriends don't like
You know they don't like 'em
And girlfriends don't like old wives...
