[Chorus]   Lush life   Takes away the time   Lush life   Takes away the time   Take one step at a time   Boy I'm still in my prime   I want the lush life      A little base is what I want   Need a finer place to do my thang   I want no boys holding me back   Coz once I get there, there's no turning back   So don't let this happen to me   Don't need no one to choose me   (Don't need to one amusing me)      [Chorus]   Lush life   Takes away the time   Lush life   Takes away the time   Take one step at a time   Boy I'm still in my prime   I want the lush life      I know exactly what I want   Supply the beat and we'll do our thing   You may say it's all in my mind   To me it's the lush life   Although it may take some time   So don't let this happen to me   Don't need no one to choose me   (Don't need to one amusing me)      [Chorus]   Lush life   Takes away the time   Lush life   Takes away the time   Take one step at a time   Boy I'm still in my prime   I want the lush life      Can't wait until the morning   Gotta see what I get for me   Gotta come onto the summer   Look at me coz I can work it      [Chorus]   Gimme the lush life   Takes away the time   Gimme the lush life   Takes away the time   Take one step at a time   Boy I'm still in my prime   I want the lush life      Gimme the lush life   Takes away the time   [fade out]
