Here in the house
time is sweet
I hear the children
playing in the street
Out where the hot winds
blow a gentle breeze
Oh oh oh oh oh
I don't need time
I don't need time
no I can get by myself
I don't need time
I don't know why
the summer wind did not tell
I scramble online
and I know that I
will never be calm and well
but I can get by in the meantime
by myself
He's a real winner
All for the sake
sleeping in the lazy afternoon
A danger to the doubters they assume
I don't need time
I don't need time
no I can get by myself
I don't need time
I don't know why
the summer wind did not tell
I scramble online
and I know that I
will never be calm and well
but I can get by in the meantime
by myself
Deal me a crippling blow
steal me remember my glow
A crippling blow
I don't need time
I don't need time
no I can get by myself
I don't need time
I don't know why
the summer wind did not tell
I scramble online
and I know that I
will never be calm and well
but I can get by in the meantime
by myself
Lord I can get by in the meantime
by myself
Oh I can get by in the meantime
by myself
