[Verse 1]
Child, I'm a fool for you
Ain't too proud of that
But 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Make a mess of me
Which wasn't supposed to be
We were supposed to change
It couldn't be arranged
[Chorus]
Your mama's son and sisters, too
All here today, should not intrude
Say, "Exit left, I'll help myself"
Distrust your sign
Ain't got no time
[Verse 2]
Playin' caboose, and your engine cut loose
I won't say that we're losin'
It's just a lot you're choosin'
'Cause what is yours I find
Is just yours in my mind
You're not gon' mess up my mind
'Cause I ain't got the time
[Bridge]
Our love was goin' to blow
Can't get hung up no more
And now ain't nothin' left
Get up and help yourself
[Verse 3]
You double-crossed your lover's boss
Ignored advice, and blew our life
Your useless prayer I cannot bear
It wasn't fair
You should have cared
[Refrain]
Ain't got it (Ain't got it)
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
[Chorus]
Your mama's son and sisters, too
All here today, should not intrude
Say, "Exit left, I'll help myself"
Distrust your sign
Ain't got no time
[Refrain]
Ain't got it (Ain't got it)
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
[Verse 3]
You double-crossed your lover's boss
Ignored advice, and blew our life
Your useless prayer I cannot bear
It wasn't fair
You should have cared
[Outro]
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
