Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - The Time lyrics

(A. Berger/J. Lyon)

Baby, this is your life story

Me, I'm just another part-time friend

And if that's all the way you want it

Well then that's the way the story ends

You say you're tired of complications

I think I know just what you mean

You've been rolling in the dirt for so damn long

Now you don't know if you'll ever get clean

We've got to stop

'Cause you don't have the time

You're throwing all your time away

We've got to stop

'Cause you just don't have the time

I guess there's nothing left to say

There's nothing left to say

You've been downhearted in the morning

And frightened by laughter in the night

It's draining all your sensibilities

Till you don't have the strength to fight

We've got to stop

'Cause you don't have the time

You're throwing all your time away

We've got to stop

'Cause you just don't have the time

I guess there's nothing left to say
