Wives Don't Like Old Girlfriends

Wives Don't Like Old Girlfriends - Suzy Bogguss/Chet Atkins

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
