(G D Em C) 


Stressed out, running late, racing down the interstate 
Spilled hot coffee, down the front of my jeans 
It’s work, work, pay the rent, money and my time's spent 
Not a minute left for me to be me 

Been going like nothing can wait 
I gotta get my priorities straight 

I need to live a little, have some fun 
Take some time, waste it on number one 
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop 
Live a little, love a lot 

Friday night, here we go, do a little do-si-do 
Kick back, have a laugh, catch my breath 
Tell the band slow it down, there she is, think I found 
Maybe Ms. Wonderful, I haven't met yet 

It just hit me like a wrecking ball 
She's giving me a wake up call 

I need to live a little, have some fun 
Take some time, waste it on number one 
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop 
Live a little, love a lot 

Step back, smell the rose 
Feel the sand between your toes 
Unplug, unwind 
Step out in the sunshine 

I need to live a little, have some fun 
Take some time, waste it on number one 
Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop 
Live a little 

I need to live a little, have some fun 
Take some time, waste it on number one 
Take the girl, get a map and pick any old dot 
Live a little, we need to live a little, love a lot
