Life for the Talking

People say
they say look at the money they saved
but I don't believe that life's that way
An old man
Once looked me in the eye, seemed to sigh
seemed to sigh don't let life pass you by
No no no, no no no
He seemed to say
he wanted me to run
the old man was once a boy, yeah
you're only young once.
because it's a life . for the takin'
and it aint no, aint no mistakin'
well it's a life. it's my life
Life for the takin'
I can remember when I was just a little kid
the big boys used to beat me up a bit
but I learned young that I couldn't cry
My momma wasn't gonna be by my side
She said it's Life . life for the takin'
and it aint no . aint no mistaken
Well, it's life . it's my life
Life for the taking
gotta take it, take it, take it, take it

ooh yeah,
well it's life, it's life for the takin'
well it aint no, aint no mistakin'
it's my life
it's my life and I'll do what I want, now yeah
Life for the takin'
