 When the morning  came i was up before first light
 And your bed  was made must have cut out sometime  last night
 And my heart  beat started poundin out of rhythm in my brain
 A voice  from deep inside said youve got to be insane
Everyone  knows how this old story goes
 So i got  in that taxi and drank my conscience away
If  your gonna be  there be there
If  your gonna stay,  stay tonight
Start  livin out  with the old im  all lit up
Must  be the good life
I  went to your friends house and begged you to open the door
 With your hands  on your hips you spoke while i sat down on that floor
Two  dishes in the kitchen sink the way you treat me when you drink
You  dont look so superior when you give your opinion
Dont  think i dont know how you act on your own
And  just who are those names on your cell phone anyway
If  your gonna be  there be there
If  your gonna stay,  stay tonight
Start  livin out  with the old im  all lit up
Must  be the good life
, , ,  x2
Your  a cool breeze in the setting sun
 New years the 4th wrapped into one
You  make me wanna be someone
That  you can look up to
If  your gonna be  there be there
If  your gonna stay,  stay tonight
Start  livin out  with the old  im all lit up
Must  be the good life
Come  on and get love
 Come on and try
 Come on now  what are you waiting for? x4
 When the morning  came i was up before first light
