[English]

Livin' my, livin' my best life

Livin' my, livin' my

Livin' my, livin' my best life

Livin' my, livin' my

You

You ride it 'til the wheels fall off

It's true

You show me how to live it up

I love the way you find your happy

I'm watching you glow, baby, show it off

Yeah, you

You take the pain and turn it to deeper love

You taught me how to

Turn it around and kiss away the fear

No lookin' down as long as I'm here

No more tears

I'm not wastin' time being sad tonight (oh)

After all these years

Finally livin' my best life (oh)

I gotta dust it off and just let go

Watch me dance and lose control

No more tears

Finally livin' my best life (oh)

Brand new

And now I just can't get enough (get enough)

Yeah, I got the moves

Heart's racing, I feel the rush (whoo)

I love the way I found my happy

You're watching me glow, yeah, I show it off

Ooh, ooh, I'm in the mood

No, I'm never letting go of this deeper love

You taught me how to

Turn it around and kiss away the fear

No lookin' down as long as I'm here

No more tears

I'm not wastin' time being sad tonight (oh)

After all these years

Finally livin' my best life (finally livin' my best life, oh)

I gotta dust it off and just let go (oh, go)

Watch me dance and lose control

No more tears (no more tears)

Finally livin' my best life, oh (best life)

Livin' my, livin' my best life (yeah)

Livin' my, livin' my (oh, best life)

Livin' my, livin' my best life (yeah, yeah)

Livin' my, livin' my

No more tears (no more)

I'm not wastin' time being sad tonight (whoo, I'm not wastin' time (oh)

After all these years (all these years)

Finally livin' my best life (I'm livin' my, oh)

I gotta dust it off (dust it off) and just let go (just let go)

Watch me dance and lose control (ooh)

No more tears

Finally livin' my best life (oh)
