Livin It Up — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

Livin it up

By: jimmy buffett, josh leo, j.d. souther

1983

He took one last look

Tossed that address book

His odyssey has begun

No time to see sights

Ran all the red lights

Burned all his bridges

Now its love on the run



Chorus:

Livin it up

Is takin all of his time

But he aint givin it up

It suits his temperament fine



Up on the bandstand

Plays for a few fans

Workin for minimum wage

He spots her lookin

His brain is cookin

She takes her seat

At the foot of the stage



Chorus:

Livin it up

Is takin all of his time

But he aint givin it up

It suits his temperament fine



Yeah he loves livin it up

And takin all of his time

But he aint givin it up

It never crosses his mind



Didnt say much, had a soft touch

Knew what felt good in her man

He was the same way and they split the next day

Sang all the way through the yucatan



Chorus:

Livin it up

Is takin all of our time

But we aint givin it up

It never crosses our mind

No no no hes just livin it up

And takin all of his time

But he aint givin her up

She suits his temperament fine

Yeah shes just livin it up

And takin all of his time



But she aint givin him up

It never crosses her mind
