The Life I Got

Labi Siffre

Last Songs, 1998, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

I may be crazy and I may be dumb
My teacher told me I was just a lazy bum
Some say I’ve fallen, I don’t mind the drop
Cause I’m happy with the life I got
Yes I’m happy with the life I got
Some ways I’m rich, some ways I’m poor
Don’t have much money, and boy I’d like some more
We love each other and we’ll never stop
So I’m happy with the life I got
Yes I’m happy with the life I got
My life ain’t easy, few can say theirs is
Good things that I reach for that I’ll always miss
My life was saved the day I found your kiss
Yes I’m happy with the way it is
You say you love me, and you prove it too
When I’m in trouble, I can rely on you
I know I’ll love you til the day I drop
See I’m happy with the life I got
Yes I’m happy with the life I got
Quantum mechanics don’t mean much to me
Can’t even figure trigonometry
My soul would die if you abandoned me
I understand, love’s gravity
You say you love me, and you prove it too
When I’m in trouble, I can rely on you
I know I’ll love you, til the day I drop
See I’m happy with the life I got
Yes I’m happy with the life I got
Well I got you, and you got me
Yes I’m happy when I got you, and you got me
Yes I’m happy with the life I got
Yes I’m happy with the life I got
