Curtis Mayfield Ain't Got Time
Child I'm a fool for ya
Ain't too proud of that
For when it comes to love and pride
Pride is something that I seem to lack
Our relation's in danger
And you act like a stranger
But this time I'm not flyin'
'Cause I ain't got the time
Make a mess of me
Which wasn't supposed to be
We were supposed to change
It couldn't be arranged
Your mama's son
And sisters do
All here today
Unite and true
She acts in love
I help myself
Distrust your sign
Ain't got no time
Playin' with you
And you didn't cut me loose
I won't say that we're losers
It's just a mutual choosin'
'Cause what is yours is mine
Is just yours in my mind
You're not convincing my mind
'Cause I ain't got the time
Our love had gone to blow
Can't get hung up no more
And now ain't nothin' left
Get up and help yourself
You double-cross
Your lover's boss
Ignored advice
And blew our lives
Your useless prayer
I cannot bare
It wasn't fair
You should have cared
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Your mama's son
And sisters do
All here today
Unite and true
She acts in love
I help myself
Distrust your sign
Ain't got no time
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
You double-cross
Your lover's boss
Ignored advice
And blew our lives
Your useless prayer
I cannot bare
It wasn't fair
You should have cared
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
