The Rest Of My Life
Robin Thicke feat. Tamar Braxton Lyrics

I knew when I laid my eyes on you
From the very first moment I saw you, I knew I was drawn to you.

The lights from above seemed to shine on only you
You were the most beautiful thing in the world, almost as if the heavens were shining down on you.

And you made me feel like I was flying
Your presence brought me indescribable joy and made me feel like I was floating on air.

When I made you sparkle in your eyes
I could see how much you were charmed by my actions and how much they brightened your beautiful eyes.

We ain't even 20 baby, I ain't learned to love you right, yeah
We may have been very young at the time, and I realize now that I lacked the necessary knowledge to truly love and appreciate you the way you deserved.

Umm, good thing I thought I was the shit back then
I was overconfident like most young people who do not have enough life experience and believe they know all there is to know.

I sang in your ear 'cause I wanted you to know that I had soul baby
I sang to impress you and make you realize that my soul and my emotions were just as beautiful and intricate as yours.

I called you all the time, I guess I tried too hard to make you mine
I was so eager to be with you that I was perhaps overbearing in my approach to wooing you.

You'd have nothing to do with me baby, thank God that you changed your mind
Initially, you were not interested in me, but I am grateful that you eventually changed your mind and gave me a chance.

Finally convinced you to come over and just say hi
After much effort, I convinced you to visit me and greet me in person.

I say forever my lady, and kissed you for the very first time
I confidently declared that I would be devoted to you forever, and then I finally got to kiss you for the first time.

After months, holidays, holding hands in the park, normally I'll just play basketball with someone in the park
During our time together, we held hands in the park during holidays and such, which was unusual for me since I typically just played basketball with my friends in the park.

And I messed up like boys tend to do, it'd be a year till I got back with you
Unfortunately, typical boyish behavior cost me our relationship, and it took me a year to win you back.

Thank God that you called me back baby, 'cause I'd never be the man that I am today
Had you not given me another chance, I may not be the man that I am today – a man who knows to cherish and appreciate the one I love.

Then one night upon the phone, you said you were at home alone
On one occasion, you mentioned to me on the phone that you were home alone.

I wasn't even old enough to drive, I saw my only chance just to keep it alive
At the time, I was not of legal driving age, and I knew that this was my only opportunity to be with you and keep our love burning.

Good thing for you I stole my daddy's car
Fortunately for you, I decided to take matters into my own hands and borrowed my father's car to come see you.

'Cause no one's ever gonna love you back better than I do
I am convinced that no matter what happens in the future, I will always be the one who loves you the most deeply and selflessly.

I'm gon' love you baby, gon' love you baby, gon' love you right, for the rest of my life
I promise to love you deeply and completely with everything I have for the rest of my life.

Baby will you stay mine
My heartfelt and sincere desire is for you to remain mine always.
