[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]
  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
