A Beautiful Life
Jody Watley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Through the years we've had our share of ups and downs
But I've managed to stick it out.
Spent a lot of time talking and trying
And I'm tired of going around the desperation bend.

Can't seem to get through to you
And you sure can't get through to me.
I'd rather be living on my own then to live in a state of misery.
And I.
Think it's time that I walked away
'Cause I'm not the person I used to be.
'Cause I'm stronger, wiser and feeling beautiful
And I want a life
That's beautiful.

Yeah, yeah.
I don't know where we went wrong in the story of you and me.
But I know it's time that I changed.
Gonna change my life's reality.

I can't seem to get through to you
And you sure can't get through to me.
I'd rather be living on my own then a constant state of misery.
Don't want this misery!

And I
Think it's time that I walked away
'Cause I'm not the person I used to be.
Oh yeah!
'Cause I'm stronger, wiser and feeling beautiful and I want a life
That's beautiful.
Beautiful.

And I
Think it's time that I walked away
'cause I'm not the person I used to be.
'Cause I'm stronger, wiser and feeling beautiful and I want a life
I want a life!
That's beautiful.

Yeah yeah yeah
Think it's time that I walked away 'cause I'm not the person I used to be.
'Cause I'm stronger, wiser and feeling beautiful and I want a life
Think it's time that I walked away 'cause I'm not the person I used to be.




'Cause I'm stronger, wiser and feeling beautiful and I want a life
So beautiful.
