Emile Haynie – Wait For Life Lyrics

Why you make me work so hard
To put on that evening show?¹
When you know that all I want
Is to make your money grow?²

You’re like a baby who don’t got nowhere to go
I feel you eyeing me, you keep it on the low³
(on the low, on the low)

But I can’t let you in
And I can’t keep you out⁴
I wait for life to win
But it never comes around⁵
And I can’t hear you call
And I can’t hear me shout
I wait for it to break
But it never comes around⁶

Don’t know me
I’m lonely
I’m lonely

Why you make me take that shit⁷
To put on that evening show
When you know I don’t need it
Better than your booze and blow?⁸

You’re like a baby, don’t know better, you don’t know
You try to drag me down, try to keep it on the low

But I can’t let you in
And I can’t keep you out
I wait for life to win
But it never comes around
And I can’t hear you call
And I can’t hear me shout
I wait for it to break
But it never comes around

Feel like I’m falling apart
Feel like I’m falling apart
Feel like I’m falling apart⁹

Would you tell me?
Would you tell me?
Would you tell me?¹⁰

But I can’t let you in
And I can’t keep you out
I wait for life to win
But it never comes around
And I can’t hear you call
And I can’t hear me shout
I wait for it to break
But it never comes around

Don’t know me
I’m lonely
I’m lonely¹¹
