You only live once so when I met you
It took me about two months
To ask you to and then it was done
Cause we knew that you only live once.
Why wait around to start the show
Til the stars all line up in a row
And the environmental impact study's done
Just go, cause you only live once.
Take a deep breath, don't be faint-hearted.
The way to get ahead is to get started.
Don't overthink your options, son.
Jump in. You only live once.
Live so when your time has come
To leave, you feel equilibrium.
You sang your song, had a good run,
You lived once and you got it done.
I was brought up to wait and see
Figure out every contingency
I was 43 when the realization
Struck home, you only live once.
Marriage, hey, we gave it a whirl,
Went out and had us a baby girl,
Maybe could've waited on the procreation
But hey, you only live once.
A child is the cause of trouble and worry
No more movies and no hot curry
And it's the bottom of the ninth and you're down two runs
But it's fine, cause you only live once.
What else to do with your grownup years?
Travel the world? Have big careers?
If you had two lives, it might be fun
But you don't cause you only live once.
The river is waiting to be crossed
He who hesitates is lost
You've got to jump when push comes to shove
You only live once and that's enough.
