Lyrics
YOU OWN MY LIFE
J. Michael Tracy male vocal/midtempo
A year back, in Lexington, I met you through a friend
I have not felt this way since, God knows when
I drop in to say hello, we go out for a bite
I feel so natural with you, It’s hard to say goodnight
I look in your eyes, they tell me no lies
And my heart knows that I want to be with
You everyday, in intimate ways
But it’s somethin’ that may never be
Cause you have a man, and I have a wife
And you don’t even know you own my life
I sit across this booth wonderin’, what to do
I know you have your life but, you have mine too
I can’t bring my self to tell you, what this really means
But what I have and what I want, are different things
(chorus)
(bridge)
Oh yes, it just might be a fantasy
But my arms ache to hold you baby can’t you see
(inst. ½ verse)
Cause you have a man, and I have a wife
And you don’t even know you own my life
(tag)
You own my life
