Eddie Money - Life For The Taking Lyrics
People say
Look at the money they save
But I don't believe that life's that way
An old man
Once looked at me in the eye
He seemed to sigh, don't let life pass you by
No no no, no no no
He seemed to say
He wanted me to run
The old man was once a boy, yeah
And only young once
Because it's life for the taking
Well, it ain't no, ain't no mistakin'
Well, it's life
It's my life
I can remember
When I was just a little kid
The big boys used to beat me up a bit
But I learned young that I couldn't cry
My mamma wasn't gonna be by my side
She said it's life, life for the taking
Well, it ain't no, isn't no mistakin'
Well, it's life
It's my life
Life for the taking
Taking, taking
Ooh, yeah
'Cause it's life
Life for the taking
Well, it ain't no, ain't no mistakin'
It's my life
It's my life, baby
I wanna, I wanna, yeah
Life for the taking

True. Jimmy Lyons has always been underrated.

Rip Money Man
Nothing but love, and memories, I was a kid , in 1977 I was an intern on the radio station wCM F , this music was Neww , and exciting, his once voice on a produced record, the lyrics here, the production again, just a workof art .
Rest Peacefully Eddie❤️Thank you for the Great Memories
