He took one last look, tossed that address book
His odyssey had begun, no time to see sights
Ran all the red lights, burned all his bridges
Now it's love on the run Livin' it up is takin' all of his time
But he ain't givin' it up
It suits his temperament fine Up on the bandstand, plays for a few fans
Workin' for minimum wage
He sees her lookin', his brain is cookin'
She takes her seat of the foot of the stage Livin' it up, it's takin' all of his time
But he ain't givin' it up
It suits his temperament fine Yeah, he loves livin' it up
And takin' all of his time
But he ain't givin' it up
It never crosses his mind Didn't say much, had a soft touch
Knew what felt good in her man
He was the same way, they split the next day
Sang all the way through the Yucatan Livin' it up, it's takin' all of our time
But we ain't givin' it up
It never crosses our mind No, no, no, he's just livin' it up
And takin' all of his time
But he ain't givin' her up
She suits his temperament fine Yeah, she's just livin' it up
And takin' all of his time
