Lyrics:
When I think of all the worries that people seem to find
And how they're in a hurry to complicate their minds
By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true
I'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do
When others plan their future, I'm busy loving you
One, two, three, four
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, ay-ay-ay
Shah-la, la-la-la-la live for today (live for today)
We were never meant to worry the way the people do
And I don't need to hurry as long as I'm with you
We'll take it nice and easy, and use my simple plan
You'll be my lovin' woman, I'll be your lovin' man
We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can
Two, three, four
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today, ay-ay-ay
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, ay-ay-ay
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today (live for today)
Baby, I need to feel you inside of me
I got to feel you deep inside of me
And baby, please, come close to me
I've got to have you now, please, please, please, please
Gimme some lovin', just gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin', just gimme some lovin'
Baby, gimme some lovin', just gimme some lovin'
I got to have all your love (gimme some lovin')
Babe, I need all your love (gimme some lovin')
And now I need all your lovin' (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, ay-ay-ay
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today (no, no, no, no)
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today...

I think its the opposite now, kids are so pressured to live up to the expectations the world sets for them. They are trying to plan their lives out more and more and when one step in their plan fails they see it as the end of their world. Whether it is getting into that college or just being successful in general. Everyone can see your life and every detail, and I think Social Media has ruined the world.

On this day in 1970 {December 6th} the Grass Roots performed a medley of three of their hit records on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... The songs they performed were "Midnight Confessions" {#5 in 1968}, "Let's Live For Today" {#8 in 1967} and "Temptation Eyes" {#15 in 1971}... Bassist and lead singer "Rob" Grill passed away on July 11th, 2011 at the age of 67... R.I.P. Mr. Grill and Mr. Sullivan {1901 - 1974}...

This song is as good as about any other rock song created--the transition to the last stanzas and how Rob Grill emotively delivers the lyrics is simply ethereal.

Wow, what a delicious slice of bygone American pop culture! I think these guys charted something like 29 singles, 10th on the all time Billboard 100 list, and its easy to see why., Their hits were bursting with so many memorable hooks you only had to hear a song once, and you couldn’t get it out of your head. The lyrics never sounded forced or trite, and seemed to flow naturally from the beautifully crafted melodies. Rob is gone, but the music lives on!

I love this group! And Jimmy Durante's introduction adds some gravity to the occasion. Most, if not all of the group's members have passed away, but "God has given, and God has taken away. Praise to God." Never forget the people in your lives. 'When a loved one becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.'
