Mary J. Blige — Time

[Hook] If I had my way Life would be just fine But the world is too much And it makes me cry Sometimes I feel like leaving But I must be wise Because time is not on our side (on our side) (Don't you know that time's not on our side) Because time is not on our side (on our side) [Verse 1] The end is coming, stop your running I'm telling you this is the truth You can talk about what you read about Everything is on the news People nowadays so shady Now what is wrong with them Something cast a spell up on their minds And they always wanna condemn [Hook] If I had my way Life would be just fine But the world is too much And it makes me cry Sometimes I feel like leaving But I must be wise Because time is not on our side (on our side) (Don't you know that time's not on our side) Because time is not on our side (on our side) [Verse 2] While you're judging me you should look around And you'll see how people going down Some of them are killed over a dime Now tell me do we really have time To continue with this madness Cause I'm sick and tired of this Trying to crush my world with jealousy And I'm about to catch a fit [Hook] If I had my way Life would be just fine But the world is too much And it makes me cry Sometimes I feel like leaving But I must be wise Because time is not on our side (on our side) (Don't you know that time's not on our side) Because time is not on our side (on our side) [Bridge] You're deceiving What's the meaning Of you retrieving The enemy's greeting We all are leaving someday but We don't know how we are going Please believe me when I tell you That time is not really on our side [Hook] If I had my way Life would be just fine But the world is too much And it makes me cry Sometimes I feel like leaving But I must be wise Because time is not on our side (on our side) (Don't you know that time's not on our side) Because time is not on our side (on our side) If I had my way Life would be just fine But the world is too much And it makes me cry Sometimes I feel like leaving But I must be wise Because time is not on our side (on our side) (Don't you know that time's not on our side) Because time is not on our side (on our side) If I had my way Life would be just fine But the world is too much And it makes me cry Sometimes I feel like leaving But I must be wise Because time is not on our side (on our side) (Don't you know that time's not on our side) Because time is not on our side (on our side) If I had my way Life would be just fine But the world is too much And it makes me cry Sometimes I feel like leaving But I must be wise Because time is not on our side (on our side) (Don't you know that time's not on our side) Because time is not on our side (on our side)
