CROSBY, STILLS & NASH - Live It Up Lyrics

(Joe Vitale)

[Intro. (Synths)]

Live it up
Live it up

Don't need the look of a millionaire
Takes more than money just to live it up
Don't need designer on the things I wear
Takes more than fashion just to live it up

Don't need my home sitting in Bel Air
Forty room apartment just to live it up
Don't need Jacuzzis or midnight affairs
Neighbors in the nude just to live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, live it up

Don't need connections for a ringside seat
Takes more than power just to live it up
Don't need the keys to the governor's suite
Takes more than politics to live it up

Don't like the tricks they play on Easy Street
So don't do me favors just to live it up
Don't need to mingle with the stars I meet
Backstage passes just to live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, live it up oooh

[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]

Just look around you
So many ways that you can live it up, really got to live it up
It's all around you
All you gotta do is open up, all you do is open up

Don't need to drink 'til we all fall down
Takes more than liquor just to live it up
Don't need no dealer pushing me around
Takes more than chemicals to live it up

Don't need a ticket to a gambling town
Twenty-one don't get it just to live it up
Why are we looking in the lost and found?
People try so hard just to live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I got to live it up, live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I got to live it up, live it up

But I need to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I need to live it up, live it up, oh, oh, oh
I want to live it up, oh, oh, oh
I got to live it up, live it up
