Eddie Money - Life For The Taking lyrics

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 pa** 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 mistakin' 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 mistakin' Well, it's life It's my life Life for the taking Taking, taking Ooh, yeah 'Cause it's life Life for the taking Well, it ain't no, ain't no mistakin' It's my life It's my life, baby I wanna, I wanna, yeah Life for the taking
