For the Rest of My Life Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I knew when I laid my eyes on you
The lights from above seemed to shine on only you
And you made me feel like I was fly
When I made you sparkle in your eyes
We ain’t even 20 baby
I ain’t learned to love you right yet
Good thing I thought I was the shit back then
I sang in your ear cause I wanted you to know
That I had soul baby
I called you all the time
I guess I tried too hard to make you mine
You'd have nothing to do with me baby
Thank God that you changed your mind
[Hook]
For the rest of my life you know I wanna be yours
For the rest of my life you know I wanna be yours
For the rest of my life for you I’m gonna be strong
Baby will you stay
Baby will you stay
Baby will you stay
Baby will you stay mine
[Verse 2]
Finally convinced you to come over and just say hi
I sang "Forever My Lady" and kissed you for the very first time
After months, holidays, holding hands in the park
Normally I’d be playing basketball or something like that in the park
Then I messed up like boys tend to do
It’d be a year till I got back with you
Thank God that you called me back baby
Cause I’d never be the man that I am today
I knew when I laid my eyes on you
The lights from above seemed to shine on only you
And you made me feel like I was fly
When I made you sparkle in your eyes
We ain’t even 20 baby
I ain’t learned to love you right yet
Good thing I thought I was the shit back then
I sang in your ear cause I wanted you to know
That I had soul baby
I called you all the time
I guess I tried too hard to make you mine
You'd have nothing to do with me baby
Thank God that you changed your mind
[Hook]
For the rest of my life you know I wanna be yours
For the rest of my life you know I wanna be yours
For the rest of my life for you I’m gonna be strong
Baby will you stay
Baby will you stay
Baby will you stay
Baby will you stay mine
[Verse 2]
Finally convinced you to come over and just say hi
I sang "Forever My Lady" and kissed you for the very first time
After months, holidays, holding hands in the park
Normally I’d be playing basketball or something like that in the park
Then I messed up like boys tend to do
It’d be a year till I got back with you
Thank God that you called me back baby
Cause I’d never be the man that I am today
About
Genius Annotation
“For The Rest of My Life” is the second single from Robin Thicke’s upcoming sixth studio album, Blurred Lines, due out July 30.
The lyrics are about how he and his superstar actress wife, Paula Patton, met when they were teenagers in the late eighties-early nineties. Although this is a personal and honest song, Robin said in an interview with Hot 97, that Blurred Lines is his least personal album to date. This is a very uncommon theme for the Canadian-American soul singer.
