If I look to my left, it's beside me
And if I look straight ahead, it's before me
But if I close my eyes, I may never see you

What it is, what it is, what it is, what it is
What it is, what it is, what it is

When you think that you right, you wrong
And oh, when you think you're so big, you're so small
But if you close your ear, you may never hear

What it is, what it is, what it is, what it is
What it is, what it is, what it is

Look right now while you have a chance
(You have the tender look)
Look right now while you have a chance
(You have the tender look)
Look right now while you have a chance
You won't find it in the dictionary
Oh, but you can't blame, no you can't blame it on yourself
But if you won't, somebody sure will

Let it live, let it live, let it live, let it live
Let it live, what it is, let it live
Let it live, what it is, let it live

Let it live, let it live, what it is
Let it live
