How You Gonna Spend Your Life
Ace Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oooh, ooo,oooo, oooo, yeah, ooo, how you gonna spend your life, who you wanna be w/ when you close your eyes, is it gonna be w/ me or somebody that can love you better. Did you take me on just to past the time.

Where you gonna spend the night, there?s no other place to be than by my side. Waiting for the sun to rise, watching as the moon surrenders. I can give you all you need, in spite of what you think you might believe.

Chorus:
I?ll do anything, for your love, for your touch, I?m only flesh and blood and you?re the hope that keeps me alive. I?d give you everything, all my world, all my soul, give you my heart to hold, and ya hands tell the end of time.

What is going through your mind, are you trying to find a way to say goodbye. All I want is one more chance. I can make it last forever, give you something you can feel. There?s something real, that you will never know.

Chorus:
I?ll do anything, for your love, for your touch, I?m only flesh and blood and you?re the hope that keeps me alive. I?d give you everything, all my world, all my soul, give you my heart to hold, and ya hands tell the end of time.

Who you gonna run to. How you gonna make it on your own. I?m the one who wants YOU, and I don?t wanna spend my life alone.

Chorus:
I?ll do anything, for your love, for your touch, I?m only flesh and blood and you?re the hope that keeps me alive. I?ll give you everything, all my world, all my soul, give you my heart to hold, and ya hands when you walk the line, baby you belong the my palms until the end of time.
