I see you watchin' me just like a hawk
I don't mind the way that you talk
But if you touch me
something's got to give
I live the life I love and I love the life I live

My diamond ring and my money too
Tomorrow night they could belong to you
The girl's move me at their will
I live the life I love and I love the life I live

I may lay a hundred on a bet this time
Tomorrow night I couldn't cover your dime
Next week I could be over the hill
I'm just tryin' to tell you people how I feel

You see me rockin' as I pass you by
Don't talk about me 'cause I could be high
Just forgive me if you will
I live the life I love and I love the life I live

I may lay a hundred on a bet this time
Tomorrow night couldn't cover your dime
Next week I could be over the hill
I'm just tryin' to tell you people how I feel

You see me rockin' as I pass you by
Don't talk about me 'cause I could be high
Just forgive me if you will
I live the life I love and I love the life I live
