Minnie Riperton - Oh, By The Way lyrics

(C. Stepney - R. Rudolph)

Only in the time it takes to tell you

For not to tell, but to know is wrong

Only in the time it takes to want you

I've known it all by myself to long

Only in the time it takes to tease you

Don't be dismayed by my subtle ways

Only in the time it takes to kiss you

I've wasted so may precious days

I've known too long

This can't go on

Now that I have found a way it's up to me

Oh, by the way

Oh, by the way

Oh, by the way
