BLONDIE LYRICS - Live It Up

"Live It Up"



Your old lover's lying in the gutter

He used to be such an all night strutter

"Oh, my heart," I heard him mutter

"Oh, my dear, it seems to flutter"

Ah, ah

It's so hard to say "No"

When the deck is stacked to only go slow

It's easy sweet to live it up

An easy street when you've had enough

Ah, ah



Darkened night, splashing light

Soft and white and so polite

Let him in, beneath the rim

Beneath the skin, your next of kin

Cleansing fire, funeral pyre

Broken wire grown inside her

Secret hush, swollen rush

It's soft and plush, it's so plush



You know it's so passe

To sleep without you every day

So easy to do your stuff

So easy to live it up

Ah, ah
