Live It Up Lyrics by Chicago

The Studio Albums 1979-2008

2003

[Spoken Intro]
One, two, three
One, two, three

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Live it up
Life is too short
You've got to live it up
Mm, hmm
Live a little bit
Still got the town
So baby, live it up
Live it up
Live it up
Before it's too late
You're gotta live it up
Live it up
Live a little bit
You got the 'cuse
So baby, live it up
Live it up

[Verse: Peter Cetera]
Nothing to do
But to do
Open you eyes, look around
Don't live your life with some by you
Don't be a fool
Now

[Refrain: Peter Cetera]
Got no time to stop and think about it
Got to get up, up and do it
Gotta to live it up before we lose it
Gotta to live up, live it up, live it up

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Live it up
Life is too short
You've got to live it up
Mm, hmm
Live a little bit
You've got the time
So baby, live it up
Hmm hmm
Live it up
Before it's too late
You've got to live it up
Live a little bit
You got the 'cuse
So baby, live it up
Live it up

[Refrain: Peter Cetera]
Got no time to stop and think about it
Got to get up, up and do it
Gotta to live it up before we lose it
Gotta to live up, live it up now

[Outro: Peter Cetera]
Live it up
Live it up
Oh, live it up
Won't be longer, live it up
Hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Yeah
