I'm Livin' Right

Fats Domino · Other Songs - Fats Domino

Things I used to do

I don't do no more

I just love one woman

Instead of tryin' to love four

I stopped drinkin' humble

Now my head is clear

I'm really takin' care of business

You can tell from the smile I wear

Oh yes I'm livin' right

Put the bad lights out

Gotta good thing goin'

With the best lookin' woman in town

Lies I used to tell

I don't tell no more

I ain't got to duck indoors

Like I did before

All my thoughts and crooked dice

I give to Stagger Lee

I'm just gonna be your lover

That's good enough for me

Oh yes I'm livin right

Put the bad lights out

Gotta good thing goin'

With the best lookin' woman in town



Dreams I used to dream

I don't dream no more

What's the use of dreamin'

When I got what I was lookin' for

I got someone who wants me

And give me the biggest thrill

Bigger than the thrill I found on Blueberry Hill

Bigger than the thrill I found on Blueberry Hill

Bigger than the thrill I found on Blueberry Hill
