LIFE'S TOO SHORT

The Lafayettes - 1963


Well life's too short
And you're too sweet
Every day of your life, child
You've gotta spend with me

Now let me tell you 'bout Sally
She's a-really tough
And girl, you know about M. A.
She's cool enough

Oooohhhhhh, but life's too short
To mess around
Don't you give me no stuff, child
And don't you put me down

A-no, no, a-no, no
A-no, no, a-no, no

I, I keep a-tellin' you
I, I keep a-tellin' you
I, I keep a-tellin' you
Aarrrgggghhhhh
I said I told a-you, baby
I said I told a-you all

I say bah, oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hooooh
And you're too wild
To pass me by, baby
With just a kiss and a smile

We gotta up and get married
Before my hair turns grey
I need you for real, baby
I've had my time to play

Now c'mon, a-c'mon
A-c'mon, don't make me so blue-oooohhhhhhhh
(C'mon, c'mon)
A-hey-hey, a-hey-hey
(C'mon, c'mon)
A-hey-hey, a-hey-hey.........FADE
