So if you were in my shoes you're saying that you would basically have it made Well if I was in your boots I'm telling you I would be making things my way I'd take what's mine if I was you You'd never catch me killing time if I was you and I'd take everything that's mine if I was you I'd go and live my life if I was you If I was you I'd wake up every day and every day I'd save all my energy For making everyday the someday I talk about all the time I'd take what's mine if I was you You'd never catch me killing time if I was you and I'd take everything that's mine if I was you I'd try and live my life if I was you If I was you I would refuse to let anything pass me by I would insist on a better life now If I was you I'd know what to do
