Time Waits For No One Mavis Staples

[Verse 1:]
You came to me
Said give you more time
Time to get yourself together
Time to make up your mind
I want forever love
You want a one-night fantasy
While I’m sittin’ here waitin’ on you
You know somebody somewhere’s waitin’ on me

[Chorus:]
Time waits for no one
Time don’t wait for nobody, nobody
And time waits for no one
If you wait too long
You can turn around and I’ll be gone, gone, gone

(Time, time, time)

[Verse 2:]
I just can’t sit around
Watchin’ my life pass me by
So if you’re ever gonna make a change
Better be right now, right now, right now!

I don’t know if anybody ever told you, boy
But impatience is my middle name (my middle name)
So if my good, good, good, good, good, good…good lovin’ means anything to you, babe
You better stop runnin’ your game
