Lyrics
Ain't Got the Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"The attitude seems selfish at first, but the true intent is honest and
straight forward."
I can tell your heart's been broken in two you are looking for a shoulder
I've found out that other people's tears just seem to make me older
I'd like to help with your broken heart really I think it's a crime
But I ain't got the time, ain't got the time.
All that I can give you is a wellwish
I hate to be that way I know that it's selfish
But baby I've got a destiny to meet and I know it's on down the line
Ain't got the time, ain't got the time.
--- Instrumental ---
I can tell that you've been hurt pretty bad you need someone to cry to
You're like a bird with the broken wing and you need some place to fly to
But I've found out from life that I can't live nobody's but mine.
Ain't got the time, ain't got the time.
All that I can give you is a wellwish
I hate to be that way I know that it's selfish
But baby I've got a destiny to meet and I know it's on down the line
Ain't got the time, ain't got the time...
