"You Bet Your Life"


Get a life, get a job, did you know you were
Thye kind of slob who's in bed asleep all day
I used to be that way
Here and now although I never say out loud
Now and then you know that there's a moment when
I could leave, get out now, get on
And roll the world is big and round
Anytime, anyday, I used to think that way
Oh but I know it's true she's got a hold on you
And then half your life, it just went sailing by

Her whole world's intoxicating me
All my senses are at sea
She's the kind of girl, she's got you in a whirl
It gets so complicated
Me, I'm not proud, i'll say now the girl is
So frustrating, keeps me wishing
Keeps me waiting
Lost in this world like a child all at sea
You see your life drifting by but toda}'s all you need

Oh I just know it's true, shg's got a hold on you
Oh and it feels so nice, this feels like paradise
You've bet your life
