Life Story
Angie Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sittin' here wondering, pondering
Every little thing
And I'm lookin' back, lookin' at
All the time I been searching, ooh

[Chorus: 1]
I ain't scared to tell you
That I'm ready for you
Open the door
More to life than livin'
I want you to come into my heart

[Chorus: 2]
Cause this is my life story
And it's for you only
Give you everything

Come into my love story
Give you all the glory
Give it up to you

No one knows what tomorrow holds
Or if it ever comes
So I'm gonna take my chances, baby
You're the only one, ooh

[Chorus: 1]

[Chorus: 2]

Won't have another day without you in my life
There ain't no other way for us than love

[Chorus: 2]

This is my life story
And it's for you only
My life, my life,
My life story

This is my life story
And it's for you only
My life, my life, my life

This is my life story
And it's for you only
Give you everything

Come into my love story
Give you all the glory
(Give it up to you, oh)




'cause this is my life story
And it's for you only
