Life (Single Version)
Rick Nelson · Rick Nelson Box Set [Legacy] [2000]
Life
Will go on without me
Take it and you'll see it doesn't matter.
Life
I know what your game is
You take it and trade it for another.
Life
Before you're over
I want something to show for all my trouble.
Time, come on in
I want you back again
Where're you goin' now?
I thought you'd know somehow.
Life
If you keep goin'
I'll try to throw in a little love.
Life
I can't do without you
There's something about you that keeps me goin'.
Life
I don't wanna stop now
I've been through so much now because of you.
Tell me life, what are you here for?
Tell me life, I wanna know more
Tell me life, what are we here for?...
