Hey baby

I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine

Hey baby

Lately I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine

This is how it all began

How I became a desperate man

Was in the lobby of the Hotel Lorraine

When I first laid eyes on her

Looking like a movie star

She had a body like a fancy car

Sat down at the hotel bar

And smiled as she looked my way

So I said, "Hey girl, what's your name?"

And I thought my life would never be the same

And I said, "My heart is ready to resign

And I won't sleep, babe, until you say you'll be mine"

Hey baby

I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine

Hey baby

Lately I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine

She was playing hard to get

Puffing on a cigarette

Think she wanted to make me sweat

But I wouldn't be discouraged

Sparks were flying by the chemistry

Put me in a state of urgency

I was going to make her see

That I was the one, oh baby

Hey baby

I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine

Hey baby

Lately I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine

And she looked so good

And it felt so right

Girl, she nearly blew my mind

She looked so good

I've been living on borrowed time

Hey baby

I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine

Hey baby

Lately I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine

Hey baby

I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine

Hey baby

Lately I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine
