Time Songtext

von Edwin Starr

Well, well
Well, well, well, well, well

Oh let me tell you
(Time)
Time is the one thing everybody feels
(Time)
It just expire with no regards to years
(Time)
They say time can bring about a change
(Time)
Listen, I ain't seein' a doggone thing

But they say
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Oh everyday they tell me, y'all
(Time)
I keep hearin' them sayin'
(It takes time)
Oh oh oh

Well, now
(Time)
He says 'be handsome' - that's what people say
(Time)
But it looks like peace is getting further away
(Time)
Together we stand, and divided we fought
(Time)
But we are still divided by that unseen wall

But they say
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Ever since I was a little billy boy, they say it
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Everyday I hear the same, the same old thing

They say time
They say time
They say time
They say time
But I wanna know, y'all
(How much time does it really take
Before this world of ours is in a bad shape)
Somebody tell me...
(Time)

Well, well, well
(Time)
The day when time brings on that place a change
(Oh oh oh Time)
On that day the whole world will sing
(Time)
Time will have washed all our fears away
(Oh oh oh Time)
And peace will have brought us a brand new day

But it takes time
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Everyday I keep hearin' them telling me that
(Time)
That's what they tell me
(It takes time)
Oh Lord I wanna know, now

It takes time
It takes time
It takes time
But, oh, somebody tell me that

(How much time does it really take
Before this world of ours is in a bad shape)

Oh Lord
(Time)
(It takes time)
That's what they tell me, Lord
(Time)
Everyday
(It takes time)
Oh let me tell you now
(Time)
It takes time
