My Life ’06
[Intro]
La-di-da-da-da
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
Ooh (My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)

[Chorus]
If you looked at my life and see what I've seen (La-di-da-da-da)
If you looked at my life and see what I've seen (La-di-da-da-da-da-da)
If you looked at my life and see what I've seen (La-di-da-da-da)
If you looked at my life and see what I've seen (My life, my life, my life, my life, in the sunshine)

[Verse 1]
Life can be only what you make it
When you're feeling down, you should never fake it
Say what's on your mind and you'll find in time
That all the negative energy, it will all decease
And you'll be at peace with yourself (Mmm, mm-mm)
You won't really need no one else
Except for the man up above (Hey, yeah)
Because he'll give you love (Whoa, oh-oh, ooh-ooh, whoa)
(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine) If you looked into my life

[Chorus]
If you looked at my life and see what I've seen (Oh, you will see I'm so blue)
If you looked at my life and see what I've seen (Down and out, crying every day, don't know what to do or to say)
If you looked at my life and see what I've seen (If you looked into my life)
If you looked at my life and see what I've seen (Mmm)
[Verse 2]
Take your time, baby, don't you rush a thing
Don't you know, I know we all are struggling
I know it is hard but we will get far (Far)
And if you don't believe in me, just believe in He, yeah
'Cause he'll give you peace of mind (Yes, he would)
And you will see the sunshine (For real, yes, you would)
And you'll get to free your mind (Mind, -ind)
And things will turn out fine
Oh, I know that things will turn out fine
Yes they would, yes they would (My life, my life, my life, my life)
Oh, ayy

[Added-Verse 3]
Woah, woah
I gotta go through the fire, embrace the flame
Let it burn real deep, can't skip over the pain
I gotta break through
Hey, yeah, I gotta break through
I'm recognizin’ the man in the mirror was me
That was hurtin’ myself in reality
I had to break through
Oh, I had to break through, woo-woo-woo, woo

[Bridge]
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout, yeah
I'm talkin' bout gettin' it together, yeah, uh
I'm talkin' about dealing with the pressure
I'm talkin' about lettin’ it burn
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn now (My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)
[Chorus:]
If you looked in my life and see what I’ve seen (If you looked into my la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
If you looked in my life and see what I’ve seen (I had to let it burn, y'all, let it burn, y'all, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it)
If you looked in my life and see what I’ve seen (Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn)
If you looked in my life and see what I’ve seen (My life, my life, my life, my life)

[Outro]
My life is just like your life
All the time
