Lifetime

[Intro - male rap, half-spoken] You told me how it was with him Weekdays for her, the weekends yours to borrow Chain smokers don't let me down [Female - soft, breathy] Don't let me down, don't let me down baby, don't let me down [Male rap] No, don't worry baby, I got you I'm here no matter what we do I heard every word you didn't say out loud You're tired of being somebody's Saturday crowd [Chorus - female lead, male under] I'm not just here for the weekend I'm here for the lifetime Say it again, baby, say it 'til it's true Every day of the week, I'm choosing you Not the weekend — the lifetime [Verse 2 - back and forth] [Female] I kept him satisfied, then watched him go [Female] Monday morning always left me cold [Male] I'm here for you baby, never going anywhere [Male] I just want your smile and I want your heart [Male] I never want to be far, never apart [Male] No clock on my love, no days I don't share [Female] Promise me it's different this time [Male] I got your back, I got your front, I'm all around [Male] That's not a line, baby, that's holy ground [Female] Take my breath, take my soul [Female] I see in your eyes, you already know [Instrumental break - synth melody up up down down, sinking into deep bass] [Bridge - female whisper, then male] Be sure — 'cause once we're in, there's no door back Forever ain't a weekend, it's the whole track I know. I counted the cost before I came A lifetime's the bet and I'm staking my name [Final Chorus - both] [Female] Don't let me down, don't let me down baby, don't let me down [Male] Never. I got your back, I got your front, I'm all around [Female] Not the weekend — [Both] I'm here for the lifetime [Outro - female alone, softest] I'm here... for the lifetime
