O.A.R.: "My Life" Lyrics

she takes it deep to her heart

right from the start

she talks softly over a glass of wine



now and again 

she is more than a friend

but don't you just throw me a line



say now it would be great

if she'd dedicate



just a minute from her precious time



said i'll give it a while 

but thats not my style

now how is that a crime



everyone says that i'm wild

pardon my french but i still know my child

and that wasn't it

i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o



i began walking

while she was still talkin

lookin for an exit sign



pardon my face 

but i am leaving no trace

cause i really haven't got the time 



well i began thinking

and my heart is just sinking 

looking for a place to go



well isn't it sad

how she'll treats you so bad

and u never really let her know



well everyone says that shes cryin

but i can;t forget all the tiem i spent tryin

and that wasn't it 

i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o



and i know i know

what it feels like to be alone

i say now i know i know

what it feels like to be at home



i say i like i like

stoping to say hello

said its my life my life my life

why can't we take this slow, why can;t we take this slow



why can't we take this slow



now i been thro the phases

and i walked thro the mazes

i'm sick and just a little tired



i'm sure it isn't fair 

but i'm not aware 

of the patience thats required



if i could have kissed her 

everytime that i misses her

i wouldn't be out the door



but now and again 

i sure need a friend

now isn't that what shes for



everyone says that i'm lyin

but i can't forget all the times she was cryin

and that wasn't it 

i told her i need some time from her daddy-o



and i know i know

what it feels like to be alone

i say now i know i know

what it feels like to be at home



i say i like i like

stoping to say hello

said its my life my life my life

why can't we take this slow, why can;t we take this slow



baby take this slow

its my life my life

why can;t we take this slow

(repeat)
