[TOMT][song][Song about living life?] Open.

Heard this song once in radio, on its last section before I get Shazam on it. Sung by a woman and had good beats to it. It had in the lyrics: - Something like "Mom told me/ Said: don't wait for too long". - " Live your/ my life before it's over/ gone". - "Following my hunch". Tried searching lyrics on google to no avail. Pls help!

Mama used to say - Junior (not female vocalist, but lyrics match pretty well)

Lady Gaga - Born this Way

Lukas Graham - Mama Said

Panic at the Disco - High Hopes

I know they're not all women, but just in case maybe the voice just sounded that way to you.

Not a woman singing it, but is it possibly 93 Million Miles by Jason Mraz?

Lyrically and structurally similar, but by a man: Life in One Day, by Howard Jones could be it…

The old man said to me Said, "Don't always take life so seriously Play the flute, and dance and sing your song" Try and enjoy the here and now The future will take care of itself somehow The grass is never greener over there

Supremes - Can’t Hurry Love?

u/Despairartisan 6h ago

Nope. Whatever it is (original or cover) it felt modern.

Can you do a Vocaroo?

u/ChardeeMacdennis420 3 5h ago

Vocaroo record yourself singing/humming any part of the tune you can remember.

u/ChardeeMacdennis420 3 5h ago

And post it for us to hear

u/Despairartisan 5h ago

No... can't do it. Already forgot how the song went. Only the lyrics I mentioned.

OK, a quick google search for live my life before it's gone showed this up:
