Livin' It Up Is Startin' To Get Me Down

(albüm: Love At First Sight - 1977)

I have made a life for myself here
Or should I say the life here has made me
Dancing at parties for people I've never met
Prancing and carrying on just like a marionette
Pulled by strings and things I'd like to forget

Living it up is starting to get me down
But giving it up would mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

I have touched and tasted the high life
Or should I say that I've wasted my life
Losing at love every time that I place a bet
Using the music for making my heart forget
All those flings and things I'm gonna regret

Oh, living it up is starting to get me down
But giving it up would mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

Oh, living it up is starting to get me down
But giving it up could mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

Stick with what you know, they say
Even if you're sad and lonely
Any place you go, they say
You're gonna find you'll wind up only
Dancing at parties for people you've never met
Prancing and carrying on just like a marionette
Pulled by strings and things I'd like to forget

Oh, living it up is starting to get me down
But giving it up could mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

Oh, living it up is starting to get me down
But giving it up could mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

Living it up is getting me down
Living it up is getting me down
Living it up is getting me down
Living it up is getting me down...
