For All These Years Lyrics - Tikaram Tanita

FOR ALL THESE YEARS 

Tanita Tikaram 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

I got a scent on you, I got something here to show 

It's somebody's slice of life 

I had it tailor made, I had it soaken, shaken and shown around the world 

And for all these things you tell me, well 

I can't quite believe 

You are still there and I'm still trying to be somebody 

Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us 

We don't have anything to say, nothing to give 

Well, life it blows away 

I have another chance, I may have two lives 

But my both lives will be brief lives 

And then, you all will wonder why 

I was nearly 16 years old 

You were only 17, life isn't so complicated 

But then life isn't supposed to be 

For all these years 

For all these years 

Could somebody tell them 

To hurry on, hurry on down 

Would somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on down 

Every censor, everybody loses their way 

I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you 

Every lover 

Well they all tell us 

Yes, I have his wife in the background 

But I have more than this, I have more than this 

And if Mr. Chaste, he has a past 

Give it to me 

I was nearly 16 years old 

You were only 17, life isn't so complicated 

But then life isn't supposed to be 

For all these years 

For all these years
