Spent so long as a housewife

Living my life just for you

Any dreams that I had

I forgot about 'em

If you told me to


And I went through the motions

Like I didn't mind them

I knew things were missing

But I was too scared to find them


So I said to myself

"You ain't living the life that you deserve," No

Always had the will

But I wasn't sure about the nerve

But I got on up and walked out that door

Headed for the street not knowing what for


Now I'm almost there

On the edge of being happy

I'm almost there

I'm on the brink of something new

And I got your love and land to roam

If you wanna take me home

Then all I need is respect from you

And all I need is respect from you

Beat up car driving

But I don't know where I'm going

And I've come so far and so far

The best part has been not knowing

And the end of the road is almost in sight

I don't know where I'm headed

But I know that I'm alright


And I'm almost there

I'm on the edge of being happy

I'm almost there

I'm on the brink of something new

And I got your love and land to roam

If you wanna take me home

Then all I need is respect from you

And all I need is respect from you


And it's not that I don't love you

Oh, 'cause I do

You know that I do, yeah

I just got places to go

Whether or not you wanted me to


I've come so far

I traveled down the road I had to take

And I may turn back

But this time I won't make the same mistake

So when I come back home

And walk through that door

Things'll be different

They're not gonna be like before!

And I'm almost there

I'm on the edge of being happy

I'm almost there

I'm on the brink of something new

And I got your love and land to roam

If you wanna take me home

Then all I need is respect from you


I'm almost there, yeah!

And I'm almost there, whoa yeah, yeah, yeah

And I've got your love and land to roam

If you wanna take me home

Then all I need is respect from you

And all I need is respect from you, ooh
