People say Look at the money they save But I don't believe that life's that way An old man
Once looked at me in the eye He seemed to sigh He seemed to sigh, don't let life pass you by No no no, no no no He seemed to say
He wanted me to run The old man was once a boy, yeah And only young once. Because it's life for the taking Well, it ain't no, ain't no mistaken Well, it's life
It's my life Life for the taking. I can remember When I was just a little kid The big boys used to beat me up a bit
But I learned young that I couldn't cry My mamma wasn't gonna be by my side. She said it's life, life for the taking Well, it ain't no, isn't no mistaken Well, it's life It's my life
Life for the taking Taking, taking. {bis. Ooh, yeah Cause it's life
Life for the taking Well, it ain't no, ain't no mistaken It's my life It's my life, baby I wanna, I wanna, yeah Life for the taking
