12 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Tomlin Tomlin put the drip on it)
I'm just livin my life
Everywhere you walk is sand
She say i'm the man
Got a flight in the mornin girl
I hope you understand
Lately i've been balling
And I think you just been playing
All these diamonds in the water
Really making me look tan
Oh wait do that work ?
Bad bitch go to church
She got a lil secret
Let me tell you all the dirt
You a bad lil biddie
See ya titty through ya shirt
You the type of lady
Make me questionin what i'm worth
Love the way that you be all on me
Drivin me like the Porsche
I'm the pilot flying in between her legs
That's the source
Only way i'm stayin quiet
If we fuckin on the porch
She don't pay the bills
Her daddy do of course
She don't even know
That I know
But I know
And it's so
Damn crazy
People know me everywhere that I go
Lets shake the car and rock the boat
When the bass let go
I ain't even half way
And she cant take no mo
She really want to stay but my time I can't take no
She told me that she loved me
Turned out that shit was fake so
Ima live my life with some smoke and some drink
Cuz if i'm high all the time then I never gotta think
Cuz i'm
I'm just livin my life
Ain't a problem with the wrong
Cuz it feels so right
Swear I knew it from the jump
Before we took flight
Now everything is addin up
I'm startin to see the light
Cuz i'm
I'm just livin my life
How could it be wrong
When it feels so right ?
Swear I knew it from the jump
Before we took flight
Now everything is addin up
I'm startin to see the light
Uh
I see the light
The red the white
I might make a memory that's gon last a life
And ima make you remember me
If I ever stay the night
Back the shit you be sending me up
And don't start a fight
Cuz i'm
I'm just happy to be with you
Right before you leavin
I already miss you
I really shouldn't say this
But I gotta say that
I been had these feelings for ya
And it started way back
When I saw the sunlight on ya skin
Thoughts started to spin
When i'm with you ima win 24/7
There's no right way to live life
I might say I love you
But i'm not looking for a wife right now
I'm just livin my life
Ain't a problem with the wrong
When it feels so right
Swear I knew it from the jump
Before we took flight
Now everything is addin up
I'm startin to see the light
Cuz i'm
I'm just livin my life
How could this be wrong
When it feels so right ?
Swear I knew it from the jump
Before we took flight
Now everything is addin up
I'm startin to see the light
Cuz i'm
Livin my life
Cuz i'm
I'm just livin my life
Yea cuz i'm
Just livin my life
How could this be wrong when it feels so right ?
Yea
Livin my life
Just livin my life yea




I'm just livin my life
Feels so right

Nature's Infinite WELLth

Lyrics:

Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning, I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself, how much do you
Commit yourself?
It's my life, don't you forget
It's my life, it never ends (it never ends)
Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon, afraid to lose
I'd tell myself, what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life, don't you forget
It's my life, it never ends (it never ends)
I've asked myself, how much do you
Commit yourself?
It's my life, don't you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends
It's my life, don't you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends
It's my life, don't you forget
Caught in the crowd, it never ends

Soul? Well, it's really great, but don't get carried away.

every. single.time.

@david freeman Mark's voice is its own instrument...a gift that he used so often and treated so well. I cherish it, his band and their music.

A true 80s classic. The two note synth after each verse makes me stop and listen every time I hear this song. Like a doorbell that asks me to open up and listen. Something important is coming next. Fantastic song.

Weworks

Great analogy..ah the 80s✨

Scott Sargent

good thinking

L Duranceau

Probably one of the best and most beautiful songs ever written. The synthesizer sequences are superb, and the vocals are great. The 12" version is far superior to the single which has a very short (and disappointing) ending. I've listened to this song many hundred's of times, and never get tired of it.

v-town1980

@micksterminator3 Yeah, because modern dance shite never repeats. Ha!
