Thirty nine candles burnt out on a cake Each representing a million mistakes The last one still burns, there's a wish I can make This time I'm getting it right So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath And I promise myself in the time I have left [Chorus] I'm gonna work like I don't need the money I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching I'm gonna love while I still got the time Loving me hasn't been easy on you I don't know why, but I know you still do It may be my day, but here's a present for you You're looking at your new man He's sincere and sober and faithful and kind And he's home when you need him and girl starting tonight [Chorus] No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong Life is too short, baby, I've wasted ours for too long And baby from now on [Chorus] I'm gonna work like I don't need the money I know I am I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry laugh laugh laugh I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching I'm gonna dance I'm gonna dance I'm gonna love while I still got the time I'm gonna love while I still got the time While I still got the time
