Grass Roots, The - Let's Live For Today Lyrics






When I think of all the worries
That people seem to find
And how they're in a hurry
To complicate their minds
By chasing after money
And dreams that can't come true
I'm glad that we are different
We've better things to do
May others plan their future
I'm busy loving you

One, two, three, four
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
(Hey, hey, hey)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Live for today

We were never meant to worry
The way that people do
And I don't need to hurry
As long as I'm with you
We'll take it nice and easy
And use my simple plan
You'll be my lovin' woman
I'll be your lovin' man
We'll take the most from living
Have pleasure while we can

Two, three, four
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
(Hey, hey, hey)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Live for today

Baby, I need to feel you inside of me
I got to feel you deep inside of me
Baby, please come close to me
I got to have you now, please
Please, please
Gimme some-a loving
Gimme some-a loving
To gimme some-a loving
To gimme some-a loving
Baby, gimme some-a loving
Gimme some-a loving
Got to have all your loving
Gimme some-a loving
I need all your loving
Give me some love now
I need all your loving

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
(Hey, hey, hey)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

    Do you ever wonder in years from now, if teens are going to say about Britney spears, Beyonce, Ariana grande and other CRAP - "This is what defines great music, why don't they make great music like this anymore, this defined a generation"........
    I grew up in the 60s and 70s and Yes, that truly defined Excellence and defined more than a single Generation.

    Great job Music Mike!

  74. 5.... ....

    I am so very glad that I was a teen in the 60's to experience all the great songs .

  75. K.... O....

    Life lessons life philosophy in less than 4 mins. Perfection

  76. H.... ....

    This was stuck in my head while I was trying to sleep. Hadn’t heard the song in years. Good thing it was easy to find.

  77. C.... ....

    The Grass Roots were even better in concert!

  78. m.... ....

    I love this song!

  79. c.... i....

    Discovered this song thanks to honeyglue . It really soothes me

  80. D.... t....

    Everytime I crank this I wonder how anyone can listen to rap????

  81. H.... T....

    Anyone know which version on Spotify is the same as this one? There’s genuinely about 72 recordings there, and they all sound different to this one.

    H.... T....

    This is the original, a lot of these early bands signed really crappy deals with record Co's so they re-recorded songs just to get a bit of $$ royalties from the huge streaming market these days.

  82. A.... M....

    2019..Me!

  83. m.... ....

    Still a great song and RIP Rob Grill

    Rest in peace, Grassroots lead singer, Rob Grill.

  88. g.... ....

    What a Great song,real music back then..sounds even better in 2019..too bad the kids now a days don't have any idea

  89. J.... B....

    The 64-68 songs take me back to high school times and good memories.

  90. E.... I....

    Amazing

  91. L.... L....

    "Got the album...man."

  92. m.... ....

    A very special time to grow up in

  93. T.... T....

    No more doubt

  94. j.... ....

    Sou mais os italianos do The Rokes.

  95. J.... ....

    I have always loved this song!  Thanks!

  96. c.... d....

    it's funny I always heard the song on the radio and always wondered what the name of it was and couldn't find it now I'm listening to a record that has the same song on there and that's how I found it

  97. W.... A....

    The amazing Hal Blaine played the drums on this track.

  98. A.... r....

    Yalalala enciende una luz 🎶
