Livin’ in the Life The Isley Brothers

[Verse 1]
Somebody said, I was livin' in the life
Somebody told me, I was livin' in the life
Think that you might know, you find that you're reading me wrong
My patience come and go, but my livin' has got to go on

[Refrain]
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

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

[Verse 3]
Somebody said, I was livin' in the life
Somebody told me, I was livin' in the life
Try to understand my determination when
You can only stand on the outside looking in
