Darius Rucker

Thirty-nine (39) candles burnt out on a cake 
Each representin’ 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 

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 watchin’ 
I’m gonna love while I still got the time 

Lovin’ 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 lookin’ at your new man 
He’s sincere and sober and faithful and kind 
And he’s home when you need him and girl startin’ tonight 

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 watchin’ 
I’m gonna love while I still got the time 

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 

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 watchin’ 
I’m gonna love while I still got the time 


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 watchin’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
