I just can’t do it like I used to do it, I just can’t do it no more
It hurts my back; my bones just crack and all my muscles get sore
I just can’t do it like I used to do it, do it like way back when
I’d take an all day flight then party all night
Now I go to bed about ten

I just can’t do it like I used to do it, do it like I wish I could
Oh, it ain’t no joke; I was made of Oak now I’m turning into Balsa wood
No, I just can’t do it like I used to do it, honey, if the truth be told
At the end of the day nothing left to say, but I must be getting old

Dancing With My Shadow

(Chorus)
But, life is for living and living life’s the best
When you live it to the fullest and you ride it on the crest 
I just can’t do it like I used to do it, do the things I used to do

But I hope you see you want to do it with me ‘cause I sure want to do it with you
But I just can’t do it like I used to do it; I just can’t do it no more
Because it hurts my back, my bones just crack, and all my muscles get sore

(2^nd Chorus)
Life is for living and living life’s the best when you live it to the fullest and
you ride it on the crest
Yeah, life is for living so I’m giving it my best shot
I’m gonna’ count to ten and jump right in ready or not

I just can’t do it like I used to do it, do it all night long
It comes down to this, it just is what it is and although, I could be wrong
It comes down to this and what it is is just this
It’s time to end this song
Yeah, it’s time to end this song
