Deep in a lovin' haze

You gotta live a little
Love a little, laugh a little

When you can

Cry a little, smile a little

Even when you can't

Although you were awful smart

To keep you off that ground

A temporary hold

Deep in a lovin' haze

You gotta live a little
Love a little, laugh a little

Cry a little, smile a little

Even when you can't
