Story Behind the Song
I never really wanted to be the kind of person I am today. Not that it is bad, just not quite what I had planned.
Lyrics
I never wanted to be like you
Do all those mundane things you do
I take my time no need to rush
Trading your time for the dollar, never will amount to much
You spend your days looking at the clock
Can’t stop thinking about, When is it gonna stop
I spend each day as if it’s my last
Hope I ain’t right this time, but I’ve always been wrong in the past
So I’m Livin’ it up, Livin’ it up, gonna’ be Livin’ it up, Livin’ it up again
Livin’ it up, Livin’ it up, gotta be Livin’ it up again
Oh I can see you wanna be just like me
Truth is these things I’m telling you might be true
I don’t know why it has to be
so damn hard to be a wanna be
Excuse me please I got some place to be (livin’ it up again)
I ain’t sayin that I’m better than you
We are who we are and as they say, “We do what we gotta do”
I’m just a man with the so called “Master Plan”
Of livin it up when I’m down, make the most out of every day that I can
I’m Livin’ it up, Livin’ it up
Livin’ it up, Livin’ it up again
Livin’ it up, Livin’ it up, Livin’ it up again
Oh I can see you wanna be just like me
Truth is these things I’m telling you just ain’t true
I don’t know why it has to be
so damn hard to be a wanna be
Take these shoes my feet are killing me
Excuse me please I got some place to be
So won’t you please put a fork in me?
