[Intro: Maxwell, Debbie Nova]
Ooh, ooh, I, yeah
Ooh, ooh, I, yeah
Lifetime
Lifetime, lifetime (I, yeah)
Lifetime
Lifetime (Ooh, ooh), lifetime (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1: Maxwell]
I was reborn when I was broken
I wouldn't believe, I wouldn't believe, no
Been through a storm, no use in hopin'
That you would come rescue me
Somehow your love set me free

[Chorus: Maxwell]
And I
I can let my life pass me by
I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime

[Post-Chorus: Maxwell, Debbie Nova]
Lifetime (Ooh, hey, yeah)
Lifetime, lifetime (Ooh ooh, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2: Maxwell]
There was a time when love wasn't chosen
Now I'm just hopin' for more
Now I'm just reachin' out for somethin' better than I had before, girl
There ain't a bottom line in your world

[Chorus: Maxwell]
Ooh, and I
I can let my life pass me by
I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time

[Bridge: Maxwell, Debbie Nova]
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can just try and try
I can move to the light
Oh, if I take it one day at a time
Oh, spread my love out and fly
Oh, I (I can move to the light)
Ooh, I can just make you understand
That love is not a fairy tale in a melody
If you want it you can have it, girl
Maybe you will see, maybe you will see
Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh (Lifetime) (Hey, yeah<!--?i-->)
Lifetime, lifetime
(Lifetime, lifetime) (Ooh, ooh, hey, yeah)
(Llifetime) (Ooh, ooh, hey, yeah)
Ooh ooh, and I (Hey, yeah)
I can just try and try
Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime (Lifetime)
[Chorus: Maxwell]
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can just (Lifetime), alright now (Lifetime)
Lifetime, lifetime (Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Lifetime)
I can let my life pass me by
Oh, ooh ooh (Lifetime), work it on
Lifetime, lifetime (Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Lifetime)
I can let my life pass me by
There's no way, there's no way
I won't leave you (Lifetime, lifetime), I won't leave you
Lifetime, lifetime (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I can let my life pass me by
Oh, listen up, baby
Lifetime, lifetime
