The sociocritical song is about a fifteen year old girl who is still seen as ‘pure’. The singer wants to protect her from the sick society by taking her ‘under his wings’, so that she doesn’t get psychologically ill because of it.
[Verse 1]
I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
It's just a question of time
[Verse 2]
Well, now you're only fifteen
And you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Somebody should
They've persuasive ways
And you'll believe what they say
[Chorus]
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
[Verse 3]

Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one
[Chorus]
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds
[Outro]
It's just a question of time
It's just a question of time
It's just a question of time (It should be better)
It's just a question of time (It should be better with you)
It's just a question of time (It should be better)
It's just a question of time (It should be better with you)
It's just a question of time (It should be better)
It's just a question of time (It should be better with you)
It's just a question of time

Martin Gore told Electronics and Music magazine:
It’s not that audible, though. It’s a sample from a record called “She Wants to Mambo”, an old doo-wop disc. At the end of each verse, the woman who sings sort of moans. We sampled this moan and played it up a few notes, which made it sound like a gi...
