All My Life; Lyrics by Bodyworks


She didn't tell me 'til the seventh week
Now how was I supposed to know why she was crying?
It isn't even like a kid, you know
And if you're never born it's not like really dying.

I called this guy, he knows this guy
He said bring her down
And if it ever got around.

Congratulations the clinic said
And does your husband know he's soon to be a father?
I had to laugh when the line went dead
I mean I  could have called them back, but should I bother? Now?

All my life I've been living in mystery.
All my life I've been waiting for you
Soon my life will become a reality. Anew.

We run a service here, we keep it clean
We don't do anything without a doctor's order
And if a couple of them lose their dreams
They'd lose a whole lot more than that across the border.

You heard about the one who's at the other side of town
They tried to burn the building down.

I've got a cousin in New Orleans
She said that if I ever wanted I could move there
Keep the baby and get a job
And if I never finish school, well really who cares, now?

All my life I've been living in mystery
All my life I've been waiting for you
Soon my life will beome a reality
Anew.

We told her straight
Its not too late he's got to marry you.
If only for a week or two.
 
Of course we love her, what a thing to say
I can't imagine why she have kept us all from knowing?
And it will all be over in a day
Is there a better place with her we could be going? Now?

All my life I've been living in mystery.
All my life I've been waiting for you.
Soon my life will become a reality. Anew.
