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 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
