Let's Live For Today Lyrics
When I think of all the worries people seem to find
And how they're in a hurry to complicate their mind
By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true
I'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do
May others plan their future, I'm busy lovin' you (1-2-3-4)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Live for today
We were never meant to worry the way that people do
And I don't need to hurry as long as I'm with you
We'll take it nice and easy and use my simple plan
You'll be my lovin' woman, I'll be your lovin' man
We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can (2-3-4)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Live for today
Baby, I need to feel you inside of me
I got to feel you deep inside of me
Baby please come close to me
I got to have you now, please, please, please
Gimme some-a lovin', gimme some-a lovin'
Gimme some-a lovin', gimme some-a lovin'
Baby gimme some-a lovin'
Gimme some-a lovin, I need all your lovin'
Gimme some-a lovin, I need all your lovin'
Give me some love, now
I need all your lovin'
Sha la la la la la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today.

This song is can be interprited as a basic love song, but the deeper meaning is the metaphor for life in the Sixties "Complicate their minds by chasing after money", "We were never ment to worry the way that people do", and even the title... are all basic Hippie philosophy! Peace Out
i love this song. i didnt know this was what it was called though.
yeah, I'm surprised there arent more comments left for this song, its the perfect love song. Not many people known good music. That's depressing.
This is a great song!!!
DUDES!! i first heard this song on a 1967 radio special. i communicated to me damn right. i gotta go check out their other stuff
I heard this song today for the first time and i haven't been able to get it out of my head since! It's awesome!
why were the 60s so hott?
a revival of 19th century romanticism. natural ideals, emphasis of the soul, carpe diem, etc. the song; simple, but so passionate. GOODNESS, it's beautiful :)
Basically don't worry about the future just do what you think is right today.

Live for today. Beautiful message from a beautiful song. I was born long after this song was released, yet grew up listening to it since my dad listened to it back in the late sixties. Truly a great (yet ignored) classic.
