Rupert Holmes You Bet Your Life song lyrics

Get a life, get a job, did you know you were

The 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, s.he'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 today's all you need

Oh I just know it's true she's got a hold on you

Oh and it feels so nice, this feels like paradise

You bet your life.
