Life for the Taking (Re-Recorded)

People say
 Look at the money they save
 But I don't believe that life's that way
 An old man
 Once looked at me in the eye
 He seemed to sigh
 He seemed to sigh, don't let life pass you by
 No no no, no no no
 He seemed to say
 He wanted me to run
 The old man was once a boy, yeah
 And only young once
 Because it's life for the taking
 Well, it ain't no, ain't no mistakin'
 Well, it's life
 It's my life
 Life for the taking
 I can remember
 When I was just a little kid
 The big boys used to beat me up a bit
 But I learned young that I couldn't cry
 My mamma wasn't gonna be by my side
 She said it's life, life for the taking
 Well, it ain't no, isn't no mistakin'
 Well, it's life
 It's my life
 Life for the taking
 Taking, taking
 Ooh, yeah
 'Cause it's life
 Life for the taking
 Well, it ain't no, ain't no mistakin'
 It's my life
 It's my life, baby
 I wanna, I wanna, yeah
 Life for the taking
