Lyrics Rick Springfield

Rick Springfield

Born Out of Time

Come on out, please, let me stay here

I won't make any trouble

What's the idea? You can't stay in here

Come out, I tell you

But your dog will bite me

Oh, nonsense, Major doesn't bite girls

Come on, hurry up, it happens to be raining out here

I've seen all your movies, at least three or four times

And have on my wall, a large picture of you

But you were that pretty young star, so long ago

I'm born out of time with ya, what can I do?

Maybe, I'm silly to think we'd have made it

But what I'd had given to at least had a try

Oh, take me back with you nineteen thirty-nine

'Cause black and white movies are making me cry

And born out of time, we slipped hopelessly by

Sophia Loren, Bridgett Bardo, Jean Harlowe

Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Deitrich

You're better, you're better than any I'm seeing

Yes, you were a real beauty queen

Oh, listen, people, has it happened to you yet

The feeling that someone was born out of time?

Will you love someone, physically much too young for you?

Either way, it's a shame, time was so cruel

But it's nice that that generally, isn't the rule

Sophia Loren, Bridgett Bardo, Jean Harlowe

Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Deitrich

You're better, you're better than any I'm seeing

Yes, you were a real beauty queen

And Clark Gable's who I should have been
