Sittin' here wonderin', ponderin'
Every little thing
And I'm lookin' back, lookin' at all the time
I been searchin'I ain't scared to tell you
That I'm ready for you, open the door
More to life than livin'
I want you to come into my heart'Cause this is my life story
And it's for you only
Give you everythingCome into my love story
Give you all the glory
Give it up to youNo one knows what tomorrow holds
Or if it ever comes?
So I'm gonna take my chances, baby
You're the only oneI ain't scared to tell you
That I'm ready for you, open the door
More to life than livin'
I want you to come into my heart'Cause this is my life story
And it's for you only

For us than love'Cause this is my life story
And it's for you only
Give you everythingCome into my love story
Give you all the glory
Give it up to youThis is my life story
And it's for you only
