I see you watchin' me like a hawk
I don't mind the way you talk
But Lord protect me, something's got to give
I live the life 
I love and 
I love the life 
I liveSo if you see me and you think 
I'm wrongDon't worry about me, just let me alone
My sweet life ain't nothin' but a thrill
I live the life 
I love and 
I love the life 
I liveA diamond ring and some money too
Tomorrow night they could belong to you
These girls woo me at their will
I live the life 
I love and 
I love the life 
I liveMay bet a thousand on a bet this time
One minute later, 
I can't cover your dime
Tomorrow night, 
I might be over the hill
I just want you to know, baby, the way that 
I feelOh yeah, 
I rockin' when you pass me by
Don't talk about me 'cause 
I might be high
Please forgive me if you will
I live the life 
I love and 
I love the life 
I live
