The Exciting Life

(album: London By Night - 1958)

I've had a taste of the exciting life
And I can't settle down any more
I can't live as I did just before
I had a taste of the exciting life

I've had my fling at the exciting life
And I find I respond to its thrills
I like all of the tiniest chills
That go with living the exciting life

And strange as it may be
For a girl like me
All my dreams and ideals are gone
Although I have been blind
To a life of this kind
It's the way I must live from now on

I've had my taste of the exciting life
And I'm ready again for the fall
Who it's with doesn't matter at all
As long as I can live the inviting exciting life!
