Pitbull & Bon Jovi – Now Or Never Lyrics
[Intro: Pitbull & Jon Bon Jovi]Mr. Worldwide with the iconic Bon JoviIt’s my life, it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I’m alive
It’s a true order, my friend
It’s my life, my heart is like an open highway
And just like Frank Sinatra said
Like Frankie said, I did it my way
We gonna do it our way
I just wanna live while I’m alive
That’s why I say, everybody
Live life, don’t let life live you (It’s my life)
Dale [Verse: Pitbull]The world’s always comin’ to an end (Yah!)
Don’t let it scare you out of livin’ (Yah!)
Look at me mama, against all odds, your little baby boy did it (Thank you ma!)
Escape poverty, did it (Yеah!)
Hit the lottery, did it (Yeah!)
I lеt all these boys do the rappin’
Me? I am a man of my word, I live it
Every day I say thank you
Every day I give thanks, every day’s Thanksgiving
Living is givin’, introduce NASCAR to a new culture, winnin’
Every second, every minute
Every hour, every day, every year I’m here (I’m here!)
Just live your life like Frank Sinatra, your way, and have no fear [Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi, Pitbull, Both]It’s my life, it’s now or never (Now or never!)
I ain’t gonna live forever (That’s right!)
I just wanna live while I’m alive
It’s my life
(It’s my life) My heart is like an open highway (Yes sir!)
Like Frankie said, I did it my way (We did it our way, baby!)
I just wanna live while I’m alive
It’s my life [Bridge: Pitbull]The world is mine and everything in it
The world is yours, just get up and get it
The world is mine and everything in it
The world is yours, just get up and get it [Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Pitbull]It’s my life, it’s now or never (Now or never!)
I ain’t gonna live forever (That’s right!)
I just wanna live while I’m alive

Like Frankie said, I did it my way (We did it our way, baby!)
I just wanna live while I’m alive
It’s my life
