[Intro]
My mother says to me, "Enjoy your life"
My mother says to me
My mother says to me, "Enjoy your life"
My mother says to me
[Verse 1]
Ooh, somebody tell me why
I'm scared to close my eyes
And I'm too afraid to watch the news
Ooh, dancing on my own again
Anxiety, my old friend
Since why would you try somethin' new?
Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I made a promise to my mother
To stop runnin' from my problems
"Oh, now," she said to me, "Enjoy your life" (My mother says to me)
[Chorus]
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (My mother says to me)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (My mother says to me)
[Verse 2]
Somebody tell me why
I'm scared for you to see me cry
Yeah, I feel fine, how about you?
Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't remember what my dreams are
I can hear her say, "Wake up"
"Oh, now," she said to me, "Enjoy your life" (My mother says to me)
[Chorus]
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (My mother says to me)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (My mother says to me)
[Bridge]
(Enjoy your life, enjoy your life)
(Enjoy your life, enjoy your life)
(Enjoy your life, enjoy your life)
(Enjoy your life)
[Chorus]
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (My mother says to me)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
Enjoy your life (Enjoy your life)
