I'll Spend My Life With You
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
Moving fast and moving slow
I'm in a crowd, and yet I'm all alone
The road is long, the road is rough
I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna turn around and head for home
And I hope you're there
And you still care
And if you do, I'll spend my life with you
I've had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday
I've played a game that couldn't last
And now some memories from my past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way
And girl, I find
You're still on my mind
And if you want me to
I'll spend my life with you
And girl, I find
You're still on my mind
And if you want me to
I'll spend my life with you
I'll Spend My Life With You
