The first time we laid down was so tender
And the next night I remember kept her high heels on...
So excited, I invited her to stay a while
Just as long as she promised to keep that red dress on...
How was I to know she was only fooling around...
'cos I was only 17, just trying to keep my hands clean
Did'nt know what love could mean, I was living life...
On the radio they played that song called 'Layla'
And she turned it up as she came across the room to me...
And I held her close like she was made of angel glass
Never realised that what we had could never last...
How was I to know she was only fooling around...
'cos I was only 17, just trying to keep my hands clean
Did'nt know what love could mean, I was living life...
I was only trying to be good, it was misunderstood
Just living like a boy should...
I was living life...
I was living life, oh it does'nt seem so long ago
That I was living life, it amazes me how time can pass you by...
When you living life, how was I to know she was only fooling around...
Just fooling around...
Na, na, na... living life...
Chorus...
Living life…
