The Isley Brothers
Livin’ in the Life
[Verse 1]
Somebody said, I was living in the life
Somebody told me, I was living in the life
Think that you might know, you find that you're really wrong
My patience come and go but my living has got to go on

[Chorus]
And if you think it's easy it's only 'cause
You ain't me, and I ain't you
Check out the difference between the two

[Verse 2]
Somebody said, it was easy in my life
Somebody told me, I had made it in my life
Try to understand my determination when
You can only stand on the outside looking in

[Chorus]
And if you think it's easy it's only 'cause
You ain't me, and I ain't you
Check out the difference between the two

[Verse 3]
Somebody said, I was living in the life
Somebody told me, I was living in the life
Try to understand my determination when
You can only stand on the outside looking in
[Outro]
Oh, you ain't me, and I ain't you
There's a helluva difference between the two
