For All These Years Lyrics by Tanita Tikaram

For All These Years Lyrics

    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 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, it blows away
    I have another chance, i may have two lives
    But both my 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 'sposed to be
    For all these years
    For all these years

    Could somebody tell them
    To hurry on, hurry on down
    Wouls 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 lies
    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 'sposed to be
    For all these years
    For all these years
