J. Rawls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby I just want you here
For the rest of my life
Without you I will cry these tears
For the rest of my life
I know I've never been the best of men
But just give me a chance to try again
And show you what you really mean to me
I've never really been the type to cry
But without you here I don't know why
But I can't help but let these tears fall
I just wanna make it up to you
And show you that my love is true
And be the man you want me to be
Cause girl I need you in my life
And girl I need you by my side
I can't have these sleepless nights for the rest of my life
Baby I just want you here
For the rest of my life
Cause baby I will be right here
For the rest of my life
My life just doesn't seem to make sense without you
I thought I knew what love was but that's until I found you
I know that I can change
I just want you to stay
My old ways won't get in the way
No more no way
Baby let's just find a way
Yeah yeah we have our ups amd downs
But in the end we stick around
I'm down to keep building and see where this thing goes
Cause baby your my treasure
And it's my pleasure to be with you
Everything feels better
What we have is a forever thing
Baby I just want you here
For the rest of my life




Cause baby I will be right here
For the rest of my life
