Trade In My Life

(album: R Kelly - 1995)

Trade in my life
Oh for you, oh yes, oh yes
Trade in my life for you

Sitting here wondering how did things go wrong
Every night asking myself what happened to our happy home
Will I ever see you again, I need to know my friend

Now the past is gone away (the past is gone)
But tomorrow's on it's way (but tomorrow's on)
Though the sun is going down, I need you around
I'm willing to trade in my life

Trade in my life for you
I'm willing to trade (trade in my life, for you)
Oh for you, oh yes, oh yes
Trade in my life for you

Now I'm sitting here reminiscing on what we used to share
And how we used to be such a happy pair, oh yeah
I cannot believe we've thrown it all away
Tell me will I see you again someday?

Now the past is gone away (the past is gone)
But tomorrow's on it's way (but tomorrow's on)
Though the sun is going down
And I need you around trade

Trade in my life for you
I'm willing to trade (trade in my life, for you)
Oh for you, oh yes, oh yes
Trade in my life for you
(Trade in my life, trade in my life for you, yeah)

We both know that we made a vow
Said we'd always be together
That our love would endure, yes
But now you're gone and I'm all alone
But I need you here and I'm willing to trade it (Yes I am)

Trade in my life for you
I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I'm willing to trade it, yes I am
Tell me are you with it, are you willing to trade it
Will you trade it...I'm willing to trade

I'm willing to trade (trade in my life, for you)
Oh for you, oh yes, oh yes
Trade in my life for you
(Trade in my life, trade in my life for you, yeah)

And I don't even have to think about it twice
Hey, I'll trade it
Somebody help me say I'll trade it

I'm gonna trade
Until you return to me
I'm gonna stay on my bended knees
And when I see you I'm gonna stand up
And reach my hands out to you, and trade it
Yes I will

Said I love my music and I love my fans
But I've got to step back
Look at this thing like it sure enough is

So I'm gonna trade it
Tell me do you remember when we used to say
Everything is in their love tell me

Tell, what does it profit a man
To gain the world and lose his soul?

[Ad-libs:]
Yes
I'm gonna trade it to be with you
Yes, I will
I trade it
From the depths of my heart
I'm gonna trade it for you
