I Wanta Live Again
Bonnie Owens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We stopped living when our love died
And I wanta live again
Our love grew cold a long time ago
We both know love is gone

Yet we stay together
We just keep hanging on
But it's wrong to live together
When our love has reached an end

We stopped living when our love died
And I wanta live again
I wanna be kissed like I used to be
Thrilled like I used to be

Loved like I used to be
I wanta live again
Each time we kiss, we search for love
That used to fill our hearts

But it's all wrong, the thrill is gone
We're just too far apart
We live a life of loneliness
Each day that we pretend

We stopped living when our love died




And I wanta live again
I wanna be kissed like I used to be
