For Once In My Life

Why we tryin to live like (live like)

There's no consequences (quences)

They tell us how to live right (live right)

We get all defensive (fensive)

That's not the way that life works (life works)

Sorry to bust your bubble (bubble)

Every day that we don't change just leads to more n more trouble, yeah

I'm not lookin for a cop-out, lookin for excuses

I've made those for my whole life

I'm ready for a change, (ready for a change) yeah I'm really ready for a

Change

Don't know about you I made up my mind

I ain't playin games, we runnin out of time

We made such a mess already, this ain't the best I can be

So you can keep playin I ain't got the patience

We ain't little kids no more, no more

I'm a gonna do the right thing, say (do the right thing)

I'm a gonna do the right thing, say (do the right thing)

For once in my life, I'm a good being passive (passive)

Lookin for shortcuts and fast lanes

I'm a do whatever it takes even if it hurts me even if it breaks me

Tired of livin my life half-hearted never finishin what I started

These dreams that I've disregarded, time to grab hold again

I'm not lookin for a cop-out, lookin for excuses

Made those my whole life

Oh I'm ready for a change, oh I'm ready for a change

Don't know about you I made up my mind

I ain't playin games, we runnin out of time

We made such a mess already, this ain't the best I can be

So you can keep playin I ain't got the patience

We ain't little kids no more, no more

I'm a gonna do the right thing, say (do the right thing)

I'm a gonna do the right thing, say (do the right thing)

For once in my life, my life my life my life

For once in my life, my life my life yeah

When my life is over, I don't wanna look back and say

Oh, that I held it all back (held it all back) and I got nothin to show for

It no

I'll let it all go now so it all doesn't go to waste

For once in my life I decided I'm ready for a change

I, don't know about you I made up my mind

I ain't playin games, we runnin out of time

Made such a mess already, and this ain't the best I can be

So you can keep playin I ain't got the patience

We ain't little kids no more, no more

I'm a gonna do the right thing, say (do the right thing)

I'm a gonna do the right thing, say (do the right thing)

Don't know about you, I made up my mind

I ain't playin games, runnin out of time

I'm a do the right thing, do the right thing

Do the right thing, do the right thing

You can keep playin I ain't got the patience

We ain't little kids no more

I'm a do the right thing, do the right thing

Do the right thing, do the right thing

For once in my life, my life my life my life

For once in my life, my life my life... My life
