Live Lady Live
The Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Live lady Live!
Dropped inside a dream world
Wrapped up in the past
The diaries from tomorrow read today
There's no time tomorrow, no time to retreat
Tune in past the wisdom make believe
Well you know what you know and feelings gonna grow
You got to live lady live!
Live lady live!

Reachin' for protection, scared to live alone
Standing in the street you past the time away
Breakdown in connection, so much to forget
Leave it all behind with no regrets
Well you know that you know and feelings gonna grow

You got to live lady live!
Live lady live!
Live lady live!
Live lady live!
Hey, hey!

And you know you gotta grow
You got to live lady live!
And you know you gotta show
You got to live lady live!
Oh you know you gotta grow
You got to live lady live!
Live lady live!




Live lady live!
Live lady live!
