VERSE 1: YOU TOLD ME I DON'T LOVE YOU LIKE I SHOULD
THEN YOU LEFT ME HERE TO DO THE BEST I COULD
I WASH THE CLOTHES, TAKE OUT THE TRASH AND RAISE THIS FAMILY
I'M NOT LIVING LIFE IT'S LIVING ME

VERSE 2: YOUR MAMA SAID YOU WERE THE SELFISH KIND
YOU TOOK MY HEART AND MADE ME LOSE MY MIND
I WISH YOU UNDERSTOOD THE WORD RESPONSIBILITY
I'M NOT LIVING LIFE IT'S LIVING ME

CHORUS: I'M NOT LIVING LIFE IT'S LIVING ME
I'M NOT IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING I SEE
I'M OUT HERE TOSSING IN A BOAT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S SEA
I'M NOT LIVING LIFE IT'S LIVING ME

VERSE 3: I WAKE UP AND I TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL
THEN I PICK 'EM UP A QUARTER AFTER TWO
I JUST WALK AROUND ALL DAY IN SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM
I'M NOT LIVING LIFE IT'S LIVING ME

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 4: I THOUGHT A LITTLE GOSPEL COULDN'T HURT
SO I PICKED UP THE BOOK AND WENT TO CHURCH
I FELT LIKE THE PREACHER MAN WAS PREACHING RIGHT AT ME
I'M NOT LIVING LIFE IT'S LIVING ME

REPEAT CHORUS
TAG: NO I'M NOT LIVING LIFE IT'S LIVING ME
