Lyrics

Life's Too Short
I. Are you down? Come on over here.
Let's cuddle up. I'll hold you, dear.
Let's watch TV, your favorite show.
Cry on my shoulder. Just let it go.
(Chorus)
Life's too short! Let's go chasin' rainbows.
Life's too short! Let's go where th' wind blows.
Life is way too short! Let's go down by th' seashore.
Life's too short! You're th' one I live for.
II. You got fired. Don't be feelin' blue.
Your loser boss. Hmm. Jealous a you.
Let's go to th' bar and drown ourselves.
It'll be OK. You'll find somethin' else.
(Chorus)
Life's too short! Let's go chasin' rainbows.
Life's too short! Let's go where th' wind blows.
Life is way too short! Let's go down by th' seashore.
Life's too short! You're th' one I live for.
III. I found out through all a these years.
You are a man. Hmm. Who shed some tears.
You stuck with me when th' goin' got rough.
Somehow, baby, you were man enough.
(Bridge)
You coulda been a material girl.
You coulda loved those big boy toys.
But, nothin' swells that feelin' of pride.
Like th' one true love standin' by your side.
(Chorus)
Life's too short! Let's go chasin' rainbows.
Life's too short! Let's go where th' wind blows.
Life is way too short! Let's go down by th' seashore.
Life's too short! You're th' one I live for. Hey!
(Tag)
Life's too short! You're th' one I live for.
Life's too short! You're th' one I live for.
Life's too short!
