Hotel inn and a great big city
Tried to keep the world away from my door
Got so down, started wondering what life was for
When I met up with a good time lady
She taught me how to spend my dough
It's all gone now but I ain't alone no more
Hold up the light
Don't believe in life do ya?
Hold up the light
She was happening to ya
No more worry in my tomorrowland
Fancy girls, take advantage of me
You say that's crazy, well that's how I want it to be
Hold up the light
Don't believe in life do ya?
Hold up the light
She was happening to ya
Spend my time and I'll spend my money
Gonna keep on living it high off the hog
Cos when I'm gone boys I ain't coming back no more
Hold up the light
Don't believe in life do ya?
Hold up the light
She was happening to ya
