"Livin' It Up Is Startin' To Get Me Down" lyrics

I have made a life for myself here
Or should I say the life here has made me
Dancin' at parties for people I've never met
Prancin' and carryin' on just like a marionette
Pulled by strings and things I'd like to forget

Livin' it up is startin' to get me down
But giving it up would mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

I have touched and tasted the high life
Or should I say that I've wasted my life
Losin' at love every time that I place a bet
Usin' the music for making my heart forget
All those flings and things I'm gonna regret

Oh, livin' it up is startin' to get me down
But giving it up would mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

Oh, livin' it up is starting to get me down
But giving it up could mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

Stick with what you know, they say
Even if you're sad and lonely
Any place you go, they say
You're gonna find you'll wind up only
Dancin' at parties for people you've never met
Prancin' and carryin' on just like a marionette
Pulled by strings and things I'd like to forget

Oh, livin' it up is starting to get me down
But giving it up could mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

Oh, livin' it up is starting to get me down
But giving it up could mean being alone
Unknown in a cold new town

Livin' it up is gettin' me down
Livin' it up is gettin' me down
Livin' it up is gettin' me down
Livin' it up is gettin' me down...
