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 there 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
