This Is Your Life
The 5th Dimension · A Portrait/love's Lines, Angles And Rhymes [2007]
And it's the only one you've got
It's your life you're giving
Don't you think it's time you asked yourself for what?
This is your life, not a game that you play
It's your life and you're throwing it away
You're a runaround
The worst one in our end of town
And everyone knows that I still love you so
That precious wine you're tasting will be bitter when you're done
It's your life you're wasting
Don't you think it's sad you had to start so young?
This is your life, not a merry-go-round
It's your life, boy, and you can't live it down
You're a runaround
The worst one in our end of town
Yes, everyone knows that I still love you so
This is your life
Not just something to do
This is your life
And it's my life, too
This is your life
I know it's your life
I'm saying, don't throw it away
This is your life but it's my life too
This is your life
They say you're a runaround
I know it's your life but it's my life too
