Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
You've gotta get it, you've gotta get it and pretty soon
You'll find the fingers fit
You've gotta get it, you've gotta get it
And find your groove before the others trip
It started with a look
And pretty soon it was a valentine
And when the whole earth shook
I pass him over to a friend of mine
He started as a squeeze
But pretty soon he was a tourniquet
I'll take my life back please
I liked it better with the time to play
(Show us your look)
I think I'm falling
(Show us your look)
I'm not done crawling
(Show us that look)
Or I'll keeps stalling you
I was thinking of nights without you
Damn right I'll see it through and
I was thinking of life without me
And now I know it's just insanity
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Dance while your dollar going up, up, up and
Catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising
Chance comes a calling go and knock, knock, knock
It's better to be living than surviving
It started with a kiss and
Pretty soon it was a compromise
But with a kung fu twist
I pulled his focus back and on my mind
It started with a drink
That pretty soon became a waterfall
But then my face turned pink cos
I believed him when he said he'd call (said he'd call)
(Show us your look)
I think I'm falling
(Show us your look)
I'm not done crawling
(Show us that look)
Or I'll keeps stalling you
I was thinking of nights without you
Damn right I'll see it through and
I was thinking of life without me
And now I know it's just insanity
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Cos baby this is real life
You wanna get your mind on your occupation
The moment's got to feel right
Cos honey if it don't then get out the station
Dance while your dollar going up, up, up and
Catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising
Chance comes a calling go and knock, knock, knock
It's better to be living than surviving, viving
Dance while your dollar going up, up, up and
Catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising
Chance comes a calling go and knock, knock, knock
It's better to be living than surviving, viving, viving, viving, viving
