Story Behind the Song
THIS IS A SONG A WRITER WRITES JUST TO KEEP IN SHAPE RHYMING. IT WAS FUN TO WRITE, AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.
Lyrics
NINE LIVES
LIFE NUMBER ONE, WASN’T MUCH FUN I’D ONLY KNOWN YOU FOR DAYS.
I DIDN’T KNOW HOW OFTEN I’D GO DYING IN SO MANY WAYS.
LIFE NUMBER TWO, WAS GIVEN TO YOU. YOU WOULDN’T RETURN MY CALL.
I WAS PATIENTLY WAITING, ANTICIPATING, I FELT TWO FEET TALL.
CHORUS
WHAT YOU’VE DONE TO ME IS WORSE THAN GUNS AND KNIVES. YOU TOOK ALL OF MY “NINE LIVES”
LIFE NUMBER THREE, WAS TAKEN FROM ME. I WAS SEVENTEEN. YOU WEREN’T AWARE THAT I WAS THERE. YOU WERE THE HOMECOMING QUEEN.
LIFE NUMBER FOUR, WENT OUT THE DOOR WHEN I WAS TWENTYONE. THE PERFECT SETTING. THE PERFECT WEDDING. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULDV’E DONE.
TO CHORUS
LIFE NUMBER FIVE, I WAS BARELY ALIVE, I WAS HOLDING ON TO MY DREAMS. I WISHED YOU THE BEST, BUT THEN I CONFESSED TO ONE OF MY DEVIATE SCHEMES.
LIFE NUMBER SIX, HIT ME LIKE BRICKS. I SAW YOU ON THE STREET. YOU & YOUR MAN, YOU WERE HOLDING HIS HAND, I SWEAR YOU WERE LAUGHING AT ME.
TO CHORUS
LIFE NUMBER SEVEN, I WENT TO HEAVEN IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. WITH SHINGLES LIKE BUTTER, I TRIPPED ON THE GUTTER AND I FELL RIGHT OFF THE ROOF.
LIFE NUMBER EIGHT, YOU MOVED OUT OF STATE. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE FOR GOOD. THEN ONE SUNNY DAY, YOU CALLED ME TO SAY YOU FINALLY UNDERSTOOD.
TO CHORUS
NOW THAT YOU’RE MINE IN LIFE NUMBER NINE, MY LAST LIFE I WILL LIVE. I’LL BE WHAT YOU NEEDED, BUT I’D GLADLY REPEAT IT IF I HAD NINE MORE TO GIVE.
TO CHORUS
