Lush Life lyrics

Song information

Artist: Queen Latifah

Lyrics

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
Through jazz and coctails

The girls I knew all had sad and sullen gray faces
With distant gay traces
Where it would be that 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 song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while
That your pointed smile
Was tinged with a 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 truffle of hearts...
Could only be a bore

A week, in paris will ease the bite of it
All, 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 rocked....with the rest
Of those whos lives are..
Lonely too
