Lyrics Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu

Time's a Wastin

Yeah

Time's a wastin

Don't you take your time young man

Keep on driftin and

Ain't no tellin where you'll land

Run baby, run, run

Where you runnin to?

And who you runnin from?

Some people may not understand

What it means to be a man

Takin' full command

Cause we're

Livin in a world that's oh so strange

Boy don't let your focus change

Takin out the demons in your range, hey

Livin in a world that's oh so fast

Gotta make your money last

Learn from the past, oh

Time's a wastin

Don't you take your time young man

Keep on driftin and

Ain't no tellin where you'll land

Sweet love and sunshine

If it's all in the air

Then it's all on your mind

Breathe baby

Come back to the world

Dig up all your pearls

Teach the boys and girls, hey

Livin in a world that's oh so strange

Boy don't let your focus change

Takin out the demons in your range, hey

Livin in a world that's oh so fast

Gotta make your money last

Learn from the past, oh

Oh baby we need to smile

Oh baby we need to smile

Oh baby we need to smile

Oh baby we need to smile

Time's a wastin

Don't you take your time young man

Keep on driftin and

Ain't no tellin where you'll land

Oh baby we need to smile

Oh baby we need to smile

Oh baby we need to smile

Oh baby we need to smile

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Time's a wastin

Don't you take your time young man

Keep on driftin and

Ain't no tellin where you'll land

Ain't no tellin, oh, oh...
