Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My friend drove off the other day
Now he's gone, and all they say
Is, "You gotta live, 'cause life goes on"
But now I see I'm mortal, too
I can't live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on
[Chorus]
And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And I'm still givin'
[Verse 2]
And now I wonder 'bout my friend
If he gave all he could give
'Cause he lived his life like I lived mine
If you could see inside my head
Then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart
[Chorus]
And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And I'm still givin'
[Bridge]
You know that
I know that
You're watchin' me
[Chorus]
And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
'Cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And I'm still givin'
[Outro]
Gotta make a plan, gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles if you wanna build a life
But I don't wanna make a plan for a day far away
While I'm young and while I'm able all I wanna do is
