Lyrics

Layin' here wrapped up in my baby's love I know I've been hangin' just a little too long Her money man will be coming home soon Won't understand when he walks in the room Now the money mans just a big old poser He'll never know her the ways I know her I try to stay away but she's oh so fine Gonna' find me a way to make her all mine That's Life that's right Ooh my life Got a good thing going on That's right that's life and I got it going on Rolled my butt out of bed hustled off to work Boss man says boy it's time to see the clerk Says man you've been workin' way too hard Gave me a raise and keys to a brand new car Now I'm low ridin' on the company's dime Showin' the love to all these friends of mine Spent some coin on these brand new threads Just livin this dream inside my head That's Life that's right Ooh my life Got a good thing going on That's right that's life and I got it going on Friday night and it's time to play Headin' on down to the Blue's Café Got my stash and Mad Dog in the bottle My engines runnin' on full throttle Gonna bump and grind with all the lady's But I'll save the good stuff for my baby Up in the mornin' do it all over again Plenty time to rest yeah when I'm dead That's Life that's right Ooh my life Got a good thing going on That's right that's life and I got it going on Laying here wrapped up in my baby's love Gonna' hang round just as long as I want Yeah I'm the new money man in her life She told that other sucker to take a hike That's Life that's right Ooh my life I've got a good thing going on That's right that's life and I got it going on That's life that's right and I got it going on
