i'd rather have what we had

conlee, john

it used to be blue night there in room 321

over the river where we weren't well known

now it's two coffees and off to the office

then back in the driveway and sittin' at home

sneakin' around with me or being tied down with me

which one would you rather have? be honest

dying to be with or watching tv with me

is this what we wanted so bad?

well

i'd rather have what we had

we carefully planned what our hearts demanded

no more hotel rooms

no more cheatin' lies

now we're lookin' at it

a neatly wrapped package

but open it up and there's no surprise

sneakin' around with me or being tied down with me

which one would you rather have? be honest

dying to be with me or watching tv with me

is this what we wanted so bad?
