[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
Make a mess of me
Which wasn't supposed to be
We were supposed to change
It couldn't be arranged
[Chorus]
Your mama's son
And sisters do
All here today
Unite and true
Say, "Exit left
I'll help myself"
Distrust your sign
Ain't got no time
[Verse 2]
Playin' abuse
And your engine cut loose
I won't say that we're losin'
It's just a mutual choosin'
'Cause what is yours is mine
Is just yours in my mind
You're not gon' mess up my mind
'Cause I ain't got the time
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Your mama's son
And sisters do
All here today
Unite and true
Say, "Exit left
I'll help myself"
Distrust your sign
Ain't got no time
[Bridge]
Ain't got it (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 life
Your useless prayer
I cannot bare
It wasn't fair
You should have cared
[Outro]
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
Ain't got it
