The Time Lyrics

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes The Time

(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
