Music by elton john
Lyrics by tim rice
Eltons solo version is unreleased

We all lead such elaborate lives
Wild ambitions in our sights
How an affair of the heart survives
Days apart and hurried nights

Seems quite unbelievable to me
I dont want to live like that
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I dont want to love like that
I just want our time to be slower and gentler, wiser, free

We all live in extravagant times
Playing games we cant all win
Unintended emotional crimes
Take some out, take others in

Im so tired of all were going through
I dont want to live like that
Im so tired of all were going through
I dont want to love like that
I just want to be with you now and forever, peaceful, true

I wish I had the courage
To tell you face to face
But I could wait forever
For the perfect time and place

We all live such elaborate lives
We dont know whose words are true
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
Hard to know whose loving who

Too many choices tear us apart
I dont want to live like that
Too many choices tear us apart
I dont want to love like that
I just want to touch your heart, may this confession be the start

Send "Elaborate Lives" Ringtone to your Cell
