It takes a lifetime

Verse
Baby, I've been wedded,
bedded, loved and let down.
And my mind's made up.
I'm going all the way.
I had my share, don't worry.
Yes, I'm gonna hit the town.
Got a friend in every corner, every day.

Chorus
It takes a lifetime to discover who I am,
but I don't intend to give up so easily.
It takes a lifetime finding out what's wrong.
Baby, you just be who you wanna be.
It takes a lifetime to discover who I am,
but I don't intend to give up so easily.
It takes a lifetime finding out what's wrong.
Baby, you just be who you wanna be.
It takes a lifetime.

Verse
Looking for sensation.
When you're young and feeling smart.
Looking forward to temptation finally.
What could be the reason
for keeping us apart?
Is it just the way of thinking, feeling free?
