Lyrics Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield

Ain't Got Time

Child I'm a fool for ya

Ain't too proud of that

For 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

Make a mess of me

Which wasn't supposed to be

We were supposed to change

It couldn't be arranged

Your mama's son

And sisters do

All here today

Unite and true

She acts in love

I help myself

Distrust your sign

Ain't got no time

Playin' with you

And you didn't cut me loose

I won't say that we're losers

It's just a mutual choosin'

'Cause what is yours is mine

Is just yours in my mind

You're not convincing my mind

'Cause I ain't got the time

Our love had gone to blow

Can't get hung up no more

And now ain't nothin' left

Get up and help yourself

You double-cross

Your lover's boss

Ignored advice

And blew our lives

Your useless prayer

I cannot bare

It wasn't fair

You should have cared

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

Your mama's son

And sisters do

All here today

Unite and true

She acts in love

I help myself

Distrust your sign

Ain't got no time

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

You double-cross

Your lover's boss

Ignored advice

And blew our lives

Your useless prayer

I cannot bare

It wasn't fair

You should have cared

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

Ain't got it

Ain't got it
