Ain't Got Time For Love
​
She sits alone at night
The mirror tells her all she wants to know
Can’t tell her what to do
And in the morning when she’s still alone
She’ll think of someone new
Out in the city street
A thousand people pass by every day
But never catch the eye
And in the morning when she’s all alone
She’s left to wonder “Why ?”
There must be someone maybe somewhere in this city
To break away the chains around her heart
Its always sad to see but life is never pretty
When no-one wants to play the other part
(Well I want to run) But I want that lady
(Well I want to run) But I can’t let go
(Well I want to run) But I ain't got time for love
She sits alone at night
The TV tells her all she needs to know
To empty out her brain
And in the morning she’ll take anything
That might just help the pain
But is she so alone ?
Ten million people cry away their nights
And dream away their days
We aint got time for love
That fickle mistress flirts but never stays
There must be something more
There must be something missing
There must be so much more to life than this
Don’t tell me lies or patronise me, don’t keep kissing
My ass - Won’t you tell it like it is ?
(Well I want to run) But I want that lady
(Well I want to run) But I can’t let go
(Well I want to run) But I ain't got time for love (4)
I ain't got time for love (4)
