Livin' It Up
Bill LaBounty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scraped my heart up off the floor
My attitude is so much better
And I hardly ever cry the way I did before
I've been livin' it up
Having my self in time
Livin' it up
Right from the women to the wine
Livin' out all those fantasies I never did get to
Those Crazy things I never got to do
I got my self a new persona
Took the service off my phone
These days I live the way I wanna
And I'd do just fine as long as I'm not left alone
I'm livin' it up
Having my self in time
Livin' it up
Right from the women to the wine
I'm livin' out all those fantasies I never did get to
Those Crazy things I never got to do
Every now and then I must confess
Not up to all this happiness
Sometimes I wonder if the place I'm at is where I do belong
Don't get me wrong
I'm livin' it up
Havin my self a time
Livin' it up
Right from the women to the wine
I've been livin' out all those fantasies I never did get to
But it don't seem living without you
