Livin' It Up Is Startin' to Get Me Down

I have made a life for myself here

Or should I say the life here has made me

Dancin' at parties for people I've never met

Prancin' and carryin' on just like a marionette

Pulled by strings and things I'd like to forget

Livin' it up is startin' to get me down

But giving it up would mean being alone

Unknown in a cold new town

I have touched and tasted the high life

Or should I say that I've wasted my life

Losin' at love every time that I place a bet

Usin' the music for making my heart forget

All those flings and things I'm gonna regret

Oh, livin' it up is startin' to get me down

But giving it up would mean being alone

Unknown in a cold new town

Oh, livin' it up is starting to get me down

But giving it up could mean being alone

Unknown in a cold new town

"Stick with what you know," they say

Even if you're sad and lonely

"Any place you go," they say

"You're gonna find you'll wind up only"

Dancin' at parties for people you've never met

Prancin' and carryin' on just like a marionette

Pulled by strings and things you'd like to forget

Oh, livin' it up is starting to get me down

But giving it up could mean being alone

Unknown in a cold new town

Oh, livin' it up is starting to get me down

But giving it up could mean being alone

Unknown in a cold new town

Livin' it up is gettin' me down

Livin' it up is gettin' me down

Livin' it up is gettin' me down

Livin' it up is gettin' me down

Livin' it up is gettin' me down

Livin' it up is gettin' me down
