lyrics

DOING LIFE

You and me we were dancing to the rhythm and got a call
from the boy who calls himself a man
The chorus cries “Don’t blow me down, blow me down!”
Blow you down? No, Gonna sing and dance around the town
You are scared what we’re doing well it could be wrong
Let’s kill some time and go swimming in the billabong
You cry to me “Don’t throw me in, throw me in!”
Throw you in? No, I’m more worried with the state we’re in
Don’t worry little fella we can make it through
Even in the end if there’s only me and you
When we cry “What do we do?,Do we do”
Things will work out, well at least I hope and pray they do
For now we just have to take it in our stride
Sometimes up, sometimes down and sometimes to the side
And when they say “What are you doing with your life?”
Just say “Baby, I’m just doing life”
What are you doing and planning and playing and saying
I’m doing life
What were we thinking?
Why worry when there’s nothing you or me can say -
Too much time working, not enough time to play
You cry to me “Let’s run away, run away”
I’ve got a plan that will see us to a better day
My my you are such a pretty girl
You and me we can take off all around the world
And when you sing “Oh Romeo, Romeo”
Juliet my girl, do you like it fast or like it slow
Why stop when your body it just wants to move
Close your eyes, lose yourself and let your body groove
And when you ask “I really hope they play that song”
Play that song, yes, and all you here can sing and dance along
Relax, take your time, there’s no need to stress
Life’s to short, loosen up, don’t worry bout the mess
And when they say “What are you doing with your life?”
Just say “Baby, I’m just doing life”
Where are you going and knowing and being and seeing?
I’m doing life
What were we thinking?
Who are you dating and mating or even contemplating?
I’m doing life
What were we thinking?
