My Time

Been living my life the wrong way Spreading my love way too thin Giving my heart to just any girl If I think she might take me in Been making all the wrong choices Wasting my life away Still searching hard for the one Who won't take my heart and run Leaving me here to cry for another day Tell me when is it gonna be my time? Will love ever come here and stay? I can't stand all the gloom Alone in this room I'm a man without a cause I know I have my flaws I need someone to help me through my day I have been happy for short times But it always seems to end too fast I give everything that I can Not knowing how to make it last Maybe I expect miracles Perhaps my needs are too great But I'm quickly growing old, And I’m still out in the cold I think I missed my chance and now it’s too late Tell me when is it gonna be my time? Will love ever come here and stay? I can't stand all the gloom Alone in this room I'm a man without a cause I know I have my flaws I need someone to help me through my day Never going to stop looking, I'm not the type to ever give in I'll always keep on trying Take my chance and hope this time I'll win Maybe you think that I'm foolish But though I made a few mistakes I still have my love to give And I still have my life to live Ì'll get back up each time my heart breaks Tell me when is it gonna be my time? Will love ever come here and stay? I can't stand all the gloom Alone in this room I'm a man without a cause I know I have my flaws I need someone to help me through my day Jane Shields (C)
