  • I live my day as if it was the last
    Live my day as if there was no past
    Doin' it all night, all summer
    Doin' it the way I wanna
    Yeah, I'ma dance my heart out 'til the dawn
    But I won't be done when morning comes
    Doin' it all night, all summer
    Gonna spend it like no other

    It was a crush
    But I couldn't, couldn't get enough
    It was a rush
    But I gave it up
    It was a crush
    Now I might have went and said too much
    But that's all it was
    So I gave it up

    I live my day as if it was the last
    Live my day as if there was no past
    Doin' it all night, all summer
    Doin' it the way I wanna
    Yeah, I'ma dance my heart out 'til the dawn
    But I won't be done when morning comes
    Doin' it all night, all summer
    Gonna spend it like no other

    It was a crush
    I kept saying I'ma stay in touch
    But that thing went bust
    So I gave it up, ooh
    No tricks, no bluff
    I'm just better off without them cuffs
    Yeah, the sun won't set on us
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah

    Went low, went high
    Still waters run dry
    Gotta get back in the groove
    I ain't ever worried
    Went low, went high
    What matters is now
    Getting right back in the mood

    I live my day as if it was the last
    Live my day as if there was no past
    Doin' it all night, all summer
    Doin' it the way I wanna
    Yeah, I'ma dance my heart out 'til the dawn
    But I won't be done when morning comes
    Doin' it all night, all summer
    Gonna spend it like no other

    Now I've found another crush
    The lush life giving me a rush
    Had one chance to make me blush
    Second time is one too late
    Now I've found another crush
    The lush life giving me a rush
    Had one chance to make me blush
    Second time is one too late

    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    I live my day as if it was the last
    Live my day as if there was no past
    Doin' it all night, all summer
    Doin' it the way I wanna
    Yeah, I'ma dance my heart out 'til the dawn
    But I won't be done when morning comes
    Doin' it all night, all summer
    Gonna spend it like no other

    Now I've found another crush
    The lush life giving me a rush
    Had one chance to make me blush
    Second time is one too late
    Now I've found another crush
    The lush life giving me a rush
    Had one chance to make me blush
    Second time is one too late Writer/s: Christoph Bauss, Emanuel Abrahamsson, Fridolin Walcher, Iman Hulten, Linnea Sodahl, Markus Sepehrmanesh

  • M from Los AngelesLush Life was written between 1933 and 1936 by Billy Strayhorn and released in 1948; and it is a jazz standard. It is not about fun and a lavish life. Rather, it is about the the loss of a love and the downward spiral into alcohol and the dive bar scene.
