I don't know what I'm supposed to say
Baby, before you walk away
No woman, no war, I'm in the race
Chasin' the time (chasin' the time)

I been meanin' to find a way to face
That I'm out in the waters every day
Trying to keep my head above the waves
Day in the life

And I don't mean to be that guy
The one to push you to the side
Another line, another lie, you know
So, when I leave your shit on read
And you're runnin' circles in your head
Baby, I'm just tryna stay ahead, ooh

Just stayin' alive (just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive)
I'm not sayin' you've got to go (just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive)
But it's somethin' you've got to know
Just stayin' alive
Just stayin' alive
Just stayin' alive
Just stayin' alive (just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive)
It's just somethin' you've got to know
Just stayin' alive

Now lately we both been on the edge
And I kinda regret some things I said
I don't want you to leave so stay instead
And I pay the price

In the morning we'll both be good and gone
And the world will continue movin' on
But I swear that there ain't no other one
Just stayin' alive

And I don't mean to be that guy
The one to push you to the side
Another line, another lie, you know
So, when I leave your shit on read
And you're runnin' circles in your head
Baby, I'm just tryna stay ahead, ooh

Just stayin' alive (just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive)
I'm not sayin' you've got to go (just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive)
But it's somethin' you've got to know
Just stayin' alive
Just stayin' alive
Just stayin' alive
Just stayin' alive (just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive, just stayin' alive)
It's just somethin' you've got to know
Just stayin' alive
