Living in another way

To live it up just another day

Living in another way

Living in another way

To live it up every single day

Living in another way

I'll never do it 'cause you treat me wrong

You'll never do it, come and sing my song

I'll never do it 'cause you treat me wrong

You'll never do it, come and sing my song

I'll never do it 'cause you treat me wrong

You'll never do it, come and sing my song

I'll never do it 'cause you treat me wrong

You'll never do it, come and sing my song

Don't you see that

I want to touch your body

Can't you see that

I fly with you, I pray for you

Living in another way

To live it up just another day

Living in another way

Living in another way

To live it up every single day

Living in another way

When I look into your eyes

I feel my heart at flight, around my skies

Can I stay with you alive

I feel it's paradise inside my life

Don't you see that

I want to touch your body

Can't you see that

I fly with you, I pray for you

Living in another way

To live it up just another day

Living in another way

Living in another way

To live it up every single day

Living in another way
