Lyrics
1. Comes a time in every man's life, when he knows that somethin' ain't right...
comes a time when he knows just what to do, and the fool ain't gonna be fooled tonight...
I always thought that maybe we'd see things the same...
I never figured we'd end up in some fooloish game...oh no...
Chrs: No time, got no time for love, got no time to be lovin' you.
2. Sometimes I wonder how in the world, I ever got mixed up with you...
sometimes I think your the devil's child, and lord well I know that it's true...
I get the notion that you worked a potion on me...oh yeah...
every day my heart it aches more than you can believe...oh no...
Chrs
Bridge: Another man might have seen right through you, like I didn't do...
cause I thought that you meant to be true, now I see, there ain't no more me and you
3. You got your ways and you ain't gonna change, but one thing tht I know for sure...
whatever it is that is ailin' me, baby you sure ain't the cure...
once you held me so tight, that I had to holler for help...uh huh...
lately it seems that your holdin' somebody else...not me...no...no...
