My Whole Life
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to wait forever but you know I would.
You'd better hope I don't say "now or never" 'cause you know I could
My whole life I'm searchin' for someone like you
Take me gently by the hand and show me, show me what to do

Yeah, oooh, my whole life
Yeah, oooh, my whole life
Yeah, oooh, my whole life it's not over, it's my whole life

If you're gonna say you love me then, I love you, too
I don't want to hear you tell me "shut up" again - yeah, I heard you
My whole life is flashing right before my eyes
No more fabricated hellos and no more sad good-byes

Yeah, oooh, my whole life
Yeah, oooh, my whole life
Yeah, oooh, my whole life it's not over, it's my whole life

My whole life I'm searchin' for someone like you
Take me gently by the hand and show me, show me what to do
Please, show me what to do

Yeah, oooh, my whole life




Yeah, oooh, my whole life
Yeah, oooh, my whole life it's not over, it's my whole life
