Life
Mariana Kupfer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'specially when I'm in a park
And there no one else around,
Oh I get the shivers.
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast and
Watch the evening news.
(Chorus:)
Life, oh life, oh life doo,
Doot doot dooo. Life, oh life, oh life,
Oh life doo doot doo.
I'm a superstitious girl
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under the ladders, I keep
A rabbit's tail. I'll take you up on the dare,
Anytime, anywhere; Name the place,
I'll be there, bungee jumping,
I don't care!
(Chorus)
So after all said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun, If you really want to.
Sometimes living out your dreams,
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world,
In a beautiful balloon.
(Chorus x2)
Doo doot doo doot.
Oh, life, oh life
