Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She probably works in a restaurant
That's what her momma did
But I don't know if she ever really could've put up with it
[Verse 2]
Or maybe she sings in a nightclub
'Cause sometimes she used to sing
But I don't know if it ever amounted to anything
[Verse 3]
So listen, honey
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And, honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
[Verse 4]
Yeah, it's a rough way of living
And that's a hard price to pay, babe
She looked around and she just couldn't see it any other way
[Verse 5]
'Cause being good-looking had its limits
And the rich all seem so bored
Well, some said they were happy with it
Never really looked for sure
[Verse 6]
So listen, baby
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And, honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
[Verse 7]
Yeah, and it's over before you know it
It all goes by so fast
And the bad nights take forever
And the good nights don't ever seem to last
[Verse 8]
And, man, we never had the real thing
But sometimes we used to kiss
Back then, we didn't understand
What we were caught up in
[Verse 9]
So listen, honey
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And, honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
[Verse 10]
Yeah, baby
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And, honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
