High Life Arabesque

I was poor and lonely
Till I met the only man that ever moved my heart
He is such a nice man and he is wise man
For he told me from the start:

"You've always been a poor girl
They call you baby blue
But now you'll see a new world
Where life is easy, where the good things are waiting for you"

High life, it's like a dream to me
High life, it doesn't seem to be
My life, I'm living like a queen
Baby, baby

High life, always on holiday
High life, dancing the night away
High life, I'm swinging, I'm swaying
Keep playing this nice melody

Parties in the moonlight
Swimming in the sunlight in a private blue lagoon
Flying to Barbados, hunting alligators
On a rainy afternoon

I've always been a poor girl
I'll never be the same
I'm living in a new world
Where everybody seems to say: "Life is only a game"

High life, it's like a dream to me
High life, it doesn't seem to be
My life, I'm living like a queen
Baby, baby

High life, always on holiday
High life, dancing the night away
High life, I'm swinging, I'm swaying
Keep playing this nice melody

High life, it's like a dream to me
High life, it doesn't seem to be
My life, I'm living like a queen
Baby, baby

High life, always on holiday
High life, dancing the night away
High life, I'm swinging, I'm swaying
Keep playing this nice melody
