La-De-Da Lyrics

I thought if I were big time
That I'd have it made
Caviar for breakfast
And magnums of champagne
Never any heartache
And never any pain
Life would be La-De-Da
La-De-Da
I went from rags to riches
And I made myself a name
Imagined it'd be different
But nothing really changed
Behind the mask of splendor
I still looked much the same
My life was La-De-Da
La-De-Da
My life was La-De-Da
I had no worries at all
(Manicures and pedicures)
All those t**les and ovations
Didn't make this man
Without the validation
I was just as I began
I gave up my possessions
And all they meant to me
I found a quiet island
Upon the deep blue sea
I think about the big time
And how I used to be
When I was La-De-Da
La-De-Da
When life was La-De-Da
I had no worries at all
When I was...
I got no troubles at all
La-De-Da
