My Whole Life
[Intro]
Sunshine, come on!
[Hook]
My whole life is almost gone (Yeah, well, well, well)
Well, well
My whole life is almost gone
(Well, well)
My whole life is almost gone (Yeah, yeah)
Well, well
My whole life is almost gone
[Verse 1]
Seven years strong, I tried to hold on
(Did nothing but right, but you did me so wrong)
Why are these hoes calling your phone?
(You know I gotta wonder how they got your new number, yeah)
Leave it alone, leave it alone
(That's what I say, but loving makes me stay)
What do you want, what do you want?
(If it's me, it's too late 'cause I'm through with this game)
[Bridge]
I can't keep on (Fooling with you)
I ran out of love (Fooling with you)
I lost my job (Fooling with you)
My friends don't wanna call (Fooling with you)
Said I feel like
[Hook]
My whole life is almost gone (My-my-my-my, my-my-my-my)
Well, well
My whole life is almost gone
(Since I've been fooling with you, baby)
(Well, well)
My whole life is almost gone (My-my-my-my-my life, yeah)
Well, well
My whole life is almost gone
Well
[Verse 2]
Wasted time, wasted time
(I should've paid attention to all of the signs)
I'm outta my mind, I'm outta my mind
('Cause I wanna give into you just one more time)
I'm drawing the line, drawing the line
(Don't you cross it, 'cause you can't stop it)
Smiles and cries, smiles and cries
(I'm gonna miss you but I'm over and done with the lies)
[Bridge]
I can't keep on (Fooling with you)
I ran out of love (Fooling with you)
I lost my job (Fooling with you)
And my friends don't wanna call (Fooling with you)
Said I feel like
[Hook]
My whole life is almost gone
Well, well
My whole life is almost gone
(Well, well)
My whole life is almost gone (My whole life, is almost gone)
Well, well
My whole life is almost gone
(Let me tell you)
(Said I feel like)
My whole life is almost gone
(I feel like)
Well, well
(I feel like)
My whole life is almost gone
(I feel like, my whole life is gone)
(Well, well)
My whole life is almost gone (Fooling with you, baby)
Well, well
My whole life is almost gone
[Outro]
Listen
What I'm gonna do now?
What I'm gonna do now?
Said I got bad credit (Fooling with you)
Lost touch with old friends (Fooling with you)
Started smoking too much (Fooling with you)
Not believing enough (Fooling with you)
Said I broke my nail (Fooling with you)
I lost my job (Fooling with you)
Everything's your fault (Fooling with you)
(Fooling with you)
No-no-no
No more, no
No-no, no-no, no-no, no more
