1. All of my love and most of my fears 
   been comin' on strong for most of my years 
   add up and end up in a song. 
   
   Cellophane teads and revenue streams 
   been blocking my sharks and killin' my dreams 
   that showed how me to be the cause. 
   
   Ooh ah yella, ooh ah hey ah what now! 
   
R: It's a lifetime of a strange man, that's right 
   it's a long time for me, I see 
   she wants to belong here, I want to be free 
   ex-communicated cause there ain't no guarantee. 
   
   Ooh ah yella, ooh ah yeah. 
   
2. All of my friends and enemies 
   they were part of this dance that 
   put me right here we go 
   so glad I got this chance. 
   
   Better no plans and lessen those schemes 
   were all about love and less about me 
   I have to say she wore the pants. 
   
   That's oh! 
   
R: It's a lifetime...
   
   Woo yeah, I go, ah! 
   I've been left ah! 
   
R: It's a lifetime...
   
R: It's a lifetime of a strange man, that's me 
   It's along time for me, uh huh. 
   She wants to be rich and I want to be free, 
   keep your banned elastic cause their ain't no guarantee.
