Nelly Furtado - High Life
They say I was always d
estined for fortune and fame Now
that I've gotten
what I wanted everything's
changed And now I'm living the High life,
high life I never looked back once I left my hometown High life,
high life I left behind everybody I know And now I'm singing like
La la la la la la la la
la la la la la la La la
la la la la la la la
And everybody sings along like
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
la la
Be careful
when you're wishing for the high life
They say you have to come
clean with your past to move on
All of my dreams have come
true but something still feels
wrong But I'm still living the High life,
high life I never looked
back once I left my hometown High life,
high life Said goodbye to everybody
I know And now I'm singing like
La la la la la la la la la
la la la la la La la la la
la la la la la
And everybody sings along like
La la la la la la la la la la
la la la la La la la la la
la la la la
Be careful when you're wishing for the high life Everybody's dreaming of the high
life It may look good
from the outside But all I
really wanted was a good life
With a memory reel of all the
highlights All I want is to
sleep good at night Look myself
in the mirror knowing that
I live right So when I'm six
feet in the ground I'll be
singing like A million dollars
in palm Not a worry in the world,
that's everything I want I'm wishing
I was there I feel like it's where
I belong I wanna be able to go pay all
the bills for my mom And make her smile
Pick up my family and take em out On me
and my over-capacitated bank account
Money is all I think about Of my life
it's a highlight Tired of being low
I'm ready for the high life Look at me now,
look at how I get down Stubs and Wooten on my feet,
I'm the flyest youngin' in town But I'm losin' it,
my vision has just become an illusion And now
my high life is low again Struggling to hold it in
I was on a mission And messed everything up making
all the wrong decisions I know it's not the end,
well then again it might be And it sucks,
God forbid you ever end up like me
And I'll be singing like
La la la la la la la la la
la la la la la La la la la
la la la la la
And everybody will be singing like
La la la la la la la la la
la la la la la La la la la
la la la la la
Be careful when you're wishing
for the high life Be careful
when you're wishing for the
high life Be careful when you're wishing
for the high life Be careful
when you're wishing for the high life
Be careful when you're wishing for the high life
