Time is on my side,
yes it is
Time is on my side,
yes it is
Now you always say
That you want to be free
But you'll come running back
(said you would baby)
You'll come running back
(I said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me
Oh, time is on my side,
yes it is
Time is on my side,
yes it is
You're searching for good times
But just wait and see
You'll come running back
(I won't have to worry no more)
You'll come running back
(spend the rest of my life
with you, baby)
You'll come running back to me
Go ahead, go ahead
and light up the town
And baby, do everything
your heart desires
Remember,
I'll always be around
And I know, I know
Like I told you
so many times before
You're gonna
come back, baby
'cause I know
You're gonna
come back knocking
Yeah,
knocking right on my door
Yes, yes
Well,
time is on my side,
yes it is
Time is on my side,
yes it is
'cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
You'll come running back
(said you would, baby)
You'll come running back
(I always said you would)
You'll come
running back, to me
Yes time, time,
time is on my side,
yes it is
Time, time,
time is on my side,
yes it is
Oh, time, time,
time is on my side,
yes it is
I said, time, time,
time is on my side,
yes it is
Oh, time, time,
time is on my side
Yeah, time, time,
time is on my side
