When the morning came, I was up before first light.
And your bed was made, must have cut out sometime last night.
And my heartbeat started pounding out a rhythm in my brain.
A voice from deep inside said, "You´ve got to be insane."
Everyone knows how this old story goes,
So I got in that taxi and drank my conscience away.

If you´re gonna be there, be there.
If you´re gonna stay, stay tonight.
Start living. Out with the old.
I´m all lit up, must be the good life.

I went to your friend´s house and begged you to open the door.
With your hands on your hips, you spoke while I sat down on that floor.
Two dishes in the kitchen sink, the way you treat me when you drink,
You don´t look so superior when you give your opinion.
Don´t think I don´t know how you act on your own.
And just who are those names on your cell phone, anyway?

If you´re gonna be there, be there.
If you´re gonna stay, stay tonight.
Start living. Out with the old.
I´m all lit up, must be the good life.

You´re a cool breeze and the setting sun;
New Years, the 4th, wrapped into one.
You make me want to be someone that you could look up to.

If you´re gonna be there, be there.
If you´re gonna stay, stay tonight.
Start living. Out with the old.
I´m all lit up, must be the good life.

Come on get love.
Come on and try.
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
