Текст песни The Lovin' Spoonful - Sportin Life (Do you Believe In Magic 1965)

Sportin’ Life Lyrics[Chorus]
I'm gettin' tired of runnin' 'round
Believe I'll get married, and I'll settle down
Because this old night life, this mean old sportin' life
You know it's killin' me

[Verse 1]
And I got a letter from my home
And most of my good friends, they are dead and gone
And it makes me worry, no need to wonder
About the times to come
[Verse 2]
And Mother used to fall on her knees and pray
And these are the very words she did say
She said, "Oh Johnny, my lovin' Johnny
Won't you please change your ways?"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I've been a gambler and a cheater, too
But now it's come my, my time to lose
Because this old night life, you know she's holdin' the best hand
And what can I do?

[Chorus]
And I'm gettin' tired of runnin' 'round
Believe I'll get married and I'll settle down
Because this old night life, ooh it's a bad life
And it's killin' me
