Lush Life lyrics

Artist  : Queen Latifah 
Song : Lush Life



 Send "Lush Life" Ringtone to your Cell 

 I used to visit all the very gay places

Those come what may places

Where one
relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life

To
get the feel of life...

From jazz and
cocktails.



The girls I knew had sad
and sullen gray faces

With distant gay
traces

That used to be there you could see
where they'd been washed away

By too many
through the day...

Twelve o'clock
tales.



Then you came along with your
siren of song

To tempt me to madness!

I thought for a while that your poignant smile
was tinged with the sadness

Of a great love
for me.



Ah yes! I was wrong...

Again,

I was wrong.



Life is
lonely again,

And only last year everything
seemed so sure.

Now life is awful again,

A troughful of hearts could only be a bore.

A week in paris will ease the bite of it,

All I care is to smile in spite of it.



I'll forget you, I will

While yet
you are still burning inside my brain.

Romance is mush,

Stifling those who
strive.

I'll live a lush life in some small
dive...

And there I'll be, while I rot

With the rest of those whose lives are lonely,
too..
