Text: Gilbert O'Sullivan. The Other Sides Of Gilbert O'Sullivan. As Long As I Can.

I don't want to live forever,
I just want to live as long as I can,

I don't want to live forever,
I just want to live as long as I can,
I just want to live as long as I can,

I don't know if you don't know me,
I don't know if you do or not,
I don't know if you don't know me,

You might do and then again you might not,
You might do but then again you might not, you might not,
And I've seen so many peculiar incidents in my life,
Like the time a fella got married to a fella,
He called his wife,
Did they make a handsome couple,
Well how are we to know,
What happens when they want a child,
Isn't that what keeps a marriage alive?

I don't want to live forever,
I just want to live as long as I can,
I just want to live as long as I can,

I just want to live as long as I can, as long as I can,
And I've Seen some how can I put this,
Funny things in my life,
Like the time a woman said sorry to a man,
She stabbed with a knife
And in view of all of this nonsense,
I think it's only fair,
To point out that despite its faults,
England still has HP sauce,

I don't want to live forever,
I just want to live as long as I can,
I just want to live as long as I can,

I just want to live as long as I can,
I just want to jive as long as I can,
As long as I can, as long as I can,
As long as I can, as long as I can.
