All of my love and most of my fears
Been coming on strong for most of my
Years add up and end up in a song
Cellophane tweeds and revenue streams
Are blocking my shots and killin' my
Dreams that showed me how to be the cause
Ooh ahh, yella ooh ahh, hey ah, what now?
It's the lifetime of a strange man
That's right it's a long time, for me, I see
She wants to belong and I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't
No guarantee
Ooh ahh, yella, ooh ahh, yeah
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 known plans and lesser known schemes
Were all about love and less about
Me, I'd have to say she wore the pants
That's, oh!
It's the lifetime of a strange man
That's right
It's a long time, for me, uh huh
She wants to belong and I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't
No guarantee
It's the lifetime of a strange man
That's right
It's a long time, for me, let's see
She wants to belong and I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't
No guarantee
It's the lifetime of a strange man, that's me
It's a long time, for me, uh uh
She wants to be rich and I want to be free
Keep your plans elastic 'cause
There ain't no guarantee
