Life Lyrics

Artist: Des'ree
Album: Life

LIFE

Chorus:
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
doo, doot doot dooo.
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
doo, doot dooo

I'm afraid of the dark,
'specially when I'm in a park
And there's no-one else around,

Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news
(Repeat Chorus)

I'm a superstitious girl,
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders,
I keep a rabbit's tail

I'll take you up on a dare,
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there,
Bungee jumping, I don't care!
(Repeat Chorus)

life, doo, doot dooo
doo, doot dooo

So after all is said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun, if you really want to

Sometimes living out your dreams,
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world,
In a beautiful balloon
(Repeat Chorus)

by Rebecca on 6/9/2008 8:10am it's sound good but when i read the text it's noot so good :S
by hello on 6/10/2008 6:50am it's got a good tune, i reckon
by Anynomonous on 6/16/2008 3:32am its a great song! no deep meaning just fun!
by angel.. on 6/16/2008 4:11am i really like the song.,..it releive my stress in work...
by RhysTobin:] on 6/19/2008 10:13pm It's such an amazing song! I think its simplicity goes in contrast to what the song is actually about, life. It like, amazing ^^.
by Simon Cowell on 6/21/2008 3:51am Toast!!! Surely a sunday roast would be better!! I would be very dissapointed if it was somebody over the age of 4 that wrote this.
by VERA on 6/22/2008 3:54pm this song is wonderfull
by Rebecca Wright on 7/4/2008 4:22pm This song is so inspiring , so well brought together. The lyrics are not usual but I guess that's what makes it unique ! I love this song , it cheers me up and reminds me that life is worth living and that its not perfect but when you can put it in song everything seems to make sense !!! TRUST ME !! =] !!
by Ant on 7/7/2008 8:35am This is one of good piece. But I wonder, why people bother to waste time to leave a comment and look for the lyric for something they don't think good or rather they hate.
by Nihil on 7/9/2008 12:28pm The lyrics are pathetic. It's a terrible, shitey arsed song and those who live their life by it on here presumably don't go to parks but instead eat toast and avoid ghosties? Dear dear.
by serah on 7/11/2008 8:55am i loved the song b4 i read the lyrics. i don't live my life in fear and i don't think i will be enjoying the song anymore. I think the lyrics are rather silly.
by a walk down memorly lane on 7/15/2008 2:45am this song floods my mind with memories ohhhhhh life
by =) on 7/16/2008 6:30pm WORST lyrics but its a song about life so it has to be random. It makes me feel happy so yeh!! =)
by AGREED ^^^ on 7/17/2008 5:11am I agree to the comment above aka "=)" the lyrics are very RANDOM and the WORST i have ever read/listened to BUT in all fairness its catchy & makes you smile and thats what 50% of music is supposed to do =) beat that comment =P hahaha XD
by Ghost on 7/24/2008 7:30pm I don't understand any words in the song text. But music is really cool. It makes so happy, so shiny. I don't know why :)
by Gaz Reese on 8/22/2008 7:52am Bag of shite
by Des'ree's Fan on 9/3/2008 9:46am I ABSOLUTEMENTE love this song ... Some people may think it's flaucinaucinihilipilification (longest word in Oxford's dictionary / meaning worthless) BUTT I (Moi) don think so.. Absolutely love this song and hopefully Des'ree will write more songs as inspiring than this P.S. Davidson and Simon Cowell,(Yar right)Just for a reminder: PUT A SOCK IN IT...
by Danni on 9/8/2008 10:02am Aww this song's so silly its brilliant. I love that it doesn't make sense, why should it? Life makes no bleeding sense most of the time.
by singer on 9/10/2008 9:56pm I love the simple beauty in these lyrics. Unless you really see natural comfort in these actions, the lyrics do sound insane-but they are not. Would you call it insane if someone who was scared of ghosts rather overcame their fears by watching tv and drowning out the noise? This song has much more meaning in its words than it seems-that's why it's harder to understand, but wonderful once you do. :) oh life.
by Immortal Girl on 9/13/2008 12:34pm I really don`t understand this song...I`m pretty sure that the lyrics are some sort of irony, becouse they really sound as if they were written by a four-year old, but I still believe they a deeper meaning.The song sounded so deep whwen I first heard it, but now when I read the lyrics I`m just...confused...
by mooishness on 10/9/2008 3:18pm HA HA- these lyrics are CLASSIC!!
by page 1 on 10/22/2008 9:26am this makes me so happy i love it =) it shows all the good things in life which i love oh life oh life this song makes me love life!!!!!
by EER'SED on 10/28/2008 8:20am IM NOT AFRAID OF BAD SONGS BUT THIS ONE SCARED ME!! MINDLESS DRIBBLE FROM THE MOUTH OF A PRE-SCHOOL RETARD!! ANYONE INSPIRED BY THIS SONG NEEDS TO REALISE THAT THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN TOAST AND RABBITS TAILS. NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE BUT THOSE WHO POSTED ANY GOOD COMMENTS, UR JUST UPSIDE DOWM, BACKWARDS, INBREADS WHO HAVE SISTERS FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN FOR BREAKFAST. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
by :D on 11/9/2008 9:52am i'm amazed at the number of ppl who even bothers to comment just so they can criticize.. don't be afraid to live life the way you want even at times when life seems too difficult. that's the message.
by EER'SED on 11/14/2008 5:03am THE IDEA OF FORUMS IS TO OFFER YOUR OPINION GOOD OR BAD U NUMPTY. SO SHUT UP :D
by keeeeeeeeeeeet on 11/25/2008 3:17pm likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee very muchhhhhhhhhhhhh
by Eeeny Weeny on 12/1/2008 12:17pm What absolutely awful lyrics.. a joy to behold! Jesus.. toast! And that last line..'Life indeed can be fun, if you really want to' Sheer genius! Lol..
by Ali Garcia on 12/7/2008 1:44pm When I first heard this song, I instantly fell in love with it's quick wit, humour and sensitivity of all the issues which trouble human kind e.g Ghosts and toast. Upon reading the lyrics it confounded my initial thoughts and inspired me to write my own pile of gibberish shit song and sing it.
by Marēal on 12/15/2008 10:23am This song is wonderful I like it. Congratulations Des'ree
by Marēal on 12/15/2008 10:25am This song is wonderful I like it. Congratulations Des'ree!!!! I“ll post it in my blog: escritsdivertits.blogspot.com.
by shocked on 12/20/2008 6:03am f*** this sooo my life
by Deborah Thebba on 12/26/2008 12:53pm I love this song. The lyrics are about daring our deeper feelings, understanding they are childlike. In my opinion the puerile language and rimes are there to remit us to this perception.I remember my father making rimes like that to talk about bad things to me when I was a child. ***
by Cordelia on 1/10/2009 11:57pm I thought these lyrics were a dare "hey Des, I bet you can't get the word 'toast' into a #1 hit" or perhaps a joke "haha... Remember that time toast stopped me from committing suicide ... Ha ... Haha" I hear she writes lyrics for sesame street now. I'd love to pay out this song some more but it's getting dark in this park
by Phil on 1/19/2009 2:48pm awful...
by Oy on 1/27/2009 3:25pm I LOVE THIS SONG TOO:)
by Toma on 2/7/2009 12:22am Love this song, enjoy singing along. Tis a sweet melody. Absolutely nothing wrong with the lyrics! Ty Des'ree, u're a class act.
by wisdom phanga on 2/7/2009 10:57am life as really as it sounds in thas song
by James Read on 2/13/2009 10:40am I love this song, the lyrics are so inspiring. Truly precious
by Phil Reid on 2/15/2009 4:38am I thought this song was by Alanis Morrisette?
by Alex Wong on 2/16/2009 7:01am After years that i lost touch with it, i still make it a point to listen to it once a while to inspire me..
by ER on 2/18/2009 1:16pm This sing inspired me so much. It inspired me to write, shout and tell evreyone how CRAP this song is! Yeah the tune is fun and happy, but the lyrics really top the list as my all time worst lyrics for the ghost-most-toast verse.
by Mariama on 2/19/2009 9:53am I really love this song Des'ree is a great singer
by Vitalik on 2/26/2009 4:59am I can see this song has inspired plenty of people. The same it has done with me. When my mood is not very high, I'm just listening to it. Loudly!
by Yeahhhh on 3/30/2009 4:30pm wow... this song is just... wow. i dont know if it is just crazy talk, or if the ladys some kind of genius
by :] on 4/4/2009 8:48am True, lyrics sucks ass. but the song itself? the music, is amazing. just enjoy the melody people, don't get all complicated about it =]
by j.remy on 4/15/2009 2:52am this song rules.. its just for laughs... thats the best thing about it.. it doesnt matter if the lyrics are stupid.. jebus kissing you was also a good song
by F on 4/15/2009 12:21pm This song is by far the biggest lyrical abortion I've ever encountered. Not only does the lyrics sound like they've been composed by a drunk teenager - Des'Ree also manages to contradict herself. "Life indeed can be fun, if you really want to" -- really, Des'Ree? Well, if you want to have fun, maybe you should stop being an annoying superstitious girl who's afraid of the dark and made-up ghosts. You should also consider doing something else in you spare time other than eating toast and watching the god damn evening news. And no, Des'Ree. We all know you won't go bungee jump or fly around the world in a balloon. You've just told us that you're more afraid of things in the world than a 7-year old girl. And that probably includes anything that lifts off the ground. So shut the fuck up. And for all those of you who feel inspired by this song: You have the emotional depth and intellectual substance of a fetus with alcohol syndrome. I hope you contract herpes.
by nqaba on 4/26/2009 9:02am No doubt "life" is a kul song. To understand the lyrics you gotta know that some people believe in superstition and what Des'ree has done is magnificent! kip it up.
by *;) !ElO!* ;) on 6/3/2009 12:07pm** The melody 2 the songs realy good bt whn i saw the lyrics i was lyk wtf bt lyk al in al the songs dopest n puts a smile on me face =) Xx
by jeca on 6/9/2009 8:11am song is wonderful,but lyrics are stupid,but still love song because of melody .....:)))
by jack2929 on 6/10/2009 2:36pm well i like the song, its good that so many ppl commented. i dont know what the msg is but song surely it good to listen
by Dan Ryan on 6/14/2009 5:02am Wow, some people really get 'excited' about something as simple as this? Anyone who thinks its intelligent or funny to joke about alcohol syndrome has to be lower in the social heirarchy than the writer of a harmless song, the lyrics of which are a constant source of joy to me and millions of others! Sure, they mean nothing but they are hillarious! p.s. some of us like toast and the evening news... haha!
by laurens_mail2006 on 7/3/2009 5:19am This lyrics of the song "Life" are simple indeed , but they are for those who have more imagination and who think pozitivily.And indeed life can be fun , if u realy want to.
by laurens_mail2006 on 7/3/2009 5:22am So don't criticisize it any more it's a beautiful song.
by Hahaha on 7/5/2009 4:45am These are the WORST lyrics evaaa! Get a life toast eater!
by Bri Vee on 7/10/2009 12:51pm Worst lyrics ever. Haven't heard from her in a while, probably died of shame (in agony).
by What the Heck! on 7/25/2009 2:46pm I challenge the hypocritical and cynical commentators to shut the ***k up. Show me the song you have ever written before giving such stupid comments
by Kirsty on 8/14/2009 8:07am I like the song but the lyrics are god awful!
by PrettyFireFly on 9/6/2009 11:10am ill be featuring this song on my site. Please visit www.prettyfirefly.com
by baldy man on 9/8/2009 2:34pm ok What The Heck! I'll share my latest lyrics with you...'Ooooh! life, tell me is that a goat? I've a sore throat; and a awful woolly coat but I'm off in my blue boat cos i've got a life dood oo doo doo oo oo oo life! How's that?
by nipster on 9/15/2009 5:23pm i think that this song is just about accepting that life can be weird and ironic and it reflects on this fact. whenever i don't understand what life has thrown at me, good or bad, i may sigh and stop trying to work it out, thinking "that's life" and embrace what i have ahead. i often sing this song when i feel like this.
by Mele-Lou on 9/15/2009 10:45pm Apparently this WAS voted the WORST lyrics written within this decade according to statistics LOL
by anon on 9/29/2009 5:46am Baldy man zinged it haha, but seriously, who cares if the song is good and catchy, good lyrics are essential, unless you are an imbecile.
by Sue on 10/4/2009 6:01am This is one of my fav songs . Thanks to Deborah Thebba who so eloquently put the critics of this song to shame.
by German on 10/21/2009 5:15pm i believe is harder to write a deeply happy song, than a sad one, and thats why, maybe some people think that here weve got a funny and non-sirious lyrics. Its a happy song that tales about the beauty of life. Anyway, if you like to hear deeply music, just change the song! easy! :D
by Adlane on 10/25/2009 11:34pm listening to such a song in low spirits moments is quite useful, it's damn uplifting
