[Chorus]
Recently friends have been departing
Permanently, but not me
I plan to stick around, you see

Mystеriously, but not me
I plan to stick around, you see
'Cause I'm a lifelover, that's me

(I'm a lifelover) Permanently, but not me
I plan to stick around, you see (I'm a lifelover)
'Cause I'm a lifelover, that's me (I'm a lifelover)
(I'm a lifelover)
(I'm a lifelover)
(I'm a lifelover)
(I'm a lifelover) Recently friends have been departing
(I'm a lifelover) Permanently, but not me
I plan to stick around, you see (I'm a lifelover)
'Cause I'm a lifelover, that's me (I'm a lifelover)
[Outro]
(I'm a lifelover) Oh yeah, I'm a lifelover, that's me
(I'm a lifelover) Uh huh, I'm a lifelover, that's me
(I'm a lifelover) Oh yeah, Phranc's a lifelover, that's me
Stick around
