Maxi Priest - Life Lyrics

Life life
Just another weekend closing
There's another Monday morning rising
Days they seem to get shorter hey
Right before my very eyes hey

[Chorus]
Life everyday its getting harder
Oh life rougher everyday
Oh life everyday its getting harder
Oh life tougher everyday

Strike another match to light the fire
There's another mouth to feed
I send little Jimmy to fetch the water
Lord knows just how I feel

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm feeling the pain yeah
'Cause I'm feeling the pain
He who feels it knows it
As we're feeling the chill of a whistling breeze
Man made rules the system keeps us down
As we're fighting the fight for the young ones

[Chorus x2]

Rougher every day
Oh life oh life

[Chorus]

Life life
Just another weekend closing
There's another Monday morning rising
Days they seem to get shorter hey
Right before my very eyes hey

[Chorus]
Life everyday its getting harder
Oh life rougher everyday
Oh life everyday its getting harder
Oh life tougher everyday

Strike another match to light the fire
There's another mouth to feed
I send little Jimmy to fetch the water
Lord knows just how I feel

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm feeling the pain yeah
'Cause I'm feeling the pain
He who feels it knows it
As we're feeling the chill of a whistling breeze
Man made rules the system keeps us down
As we're fighting the fight for the young ones

[Chorus x2]

Rougher every day
Oh life oh life

[Chorus]
