The Time Lyrics

The Time lyrics

I talked to gramma just the other day 

she said girlchild time you get
things straight

and with the time, get with the time 

do what you
want girl, and do it all the time



she said when I was a girl no
one cared, they just thought me crazy 

when my opinions shared time with
their minds, so unkind

the way they pushed me down, pushed me around 

and made me sorry, that I had a mouth



get with the time,
girlchild don't expect him to see

what a beautiful woman should be

it's your time girlchild, if he don't like it there's one right behind...



she said girlchild don't be afraid to

come forward and let your
voice be heard

don't let nobody make you so scared

you can't get to
where you're going, where are you going...



get with the time,
girlchild don't expect them to see

what a beautiful woman should be

it's your time girlchild, if he don't like it there's one right behind...



grandmother, mother, child, sister and wife



do you want
me, I'm much more than a body

to be looked at by your ugly expression

of what a beautiful woman should be



grandmother, mother, child,
my sisters and wives



make it hot, so hot that they scream it, what
a beautiful woman should be!!

it's your time girlchild, if he don't like
it I got some friends in mind

cause you know, when it's time to go, get
with, get with the time

grandmother, mother, child, sister and wife



love is in everything that you say 

and everything that you
do

get with the time, it's coming back to you

back to you...
