Let's Live For Ourselves

Let's stop trying to live like other people and
Let us just live for ourselves
Babe, let us stop trying to live like other people and
Let us just live for ourselves

Clothes, you know we really can't afford to buy
Let us stop trying to live a lie
And that car we really can't afford yet
Let's not get deeper and deeper in debt

Trying to live like other people
Let us just live for ourselves
I believe it's okay, let's stop trying to live like other people and
Just live for ourselves, baby

Money, you know we haven't got a big lump sum
Sometimes we don't know where the next dollar is coming from
And them parties we've been throwing every night
Let's slow down until our money start looking right

Let's stop trying to live like other people
And just live for ourselves
Let's try that, baby
Let us stop trying to live like other people and
Just live for ourselves, yeah baby

Try it, baby
Let's try it, baby
Try it, baby

Listen, baby
We may not have the finest things out of life
As long as we're comfortable, everything is still alright
Let's stop spending so much on things we don't need for ourselves
And leave the Joneses, baby, to somebody else

Let's stop trying to live like other people and
Just live for ourselves
I'm gonna try that, baby
Let's stop trying to live like other people and
Just live for ourselves, hey baby

When we first started out we didn't have a lot
Let's be grateful for what we got

And stop trying to live like other people and
Just live for ourselves, yeah baby
Let's stop trying to live like other people and
Just live for ourselves

I don't know about y'all out there, but
Sometimes it's better to live for yourself, now
Live for yourself, hey hey
Live for yourself, now
Live for yourself
Live it cheaper sometimes and stop
Trying to live like other people and
Just live for yourself
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe it is
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
