Some people say, that come what may
We've gotta live just for today
It's just a game we play, each and every day
Until we fade away
Maybe I should say to you
Wake up, that's all we gotta do

You've gotta live your life, for today and not tomorrow
Live your life, through the sadness and the sorrow
Just live your life
'Cause when tomorrow comes, you'll wish you lived your life today

What can it be, that makes me see
All the things you've done to me?
But now you're mine, just let it shine
Don't come around and waste my time
Maybe I should say to you
Get up, that's all we've gotta do

You've gotta live your life, for today and not tomorrow
Live your life, through the sadness and the sorrow
Just live your life
'Cause when tomorrow comes, you'll wish you lived your life today

Don't let anybody tell you how to feel
Don't let everybody tell you it's not real
I don't believe that I could reinvent the wheel
'Cause no-one tells me how to live my life

You've gotta live your life, for today and not tomorrow
Live your life, through the sadness and the sorrow
Just live your life
'Cause when tomorrow comes, you'll wish you lived your life today

Live your life, for today and not tomorrow
Live your life, through the sadness and the sorrow
Just live your life
'Cause when tomorrow comes, you'll wish you lived your life today
