Time on my side, are you ready to learn?
Said baby, are you ready to burn?
Oh, burning desire, I’m a soul on fire
And, baby, it’s higher and higher
Don’t get in my way, no way
Well, you’d be a fool, baby; well, that’s true, baby
It’s the time for my season right now
Well, is it true, baby? Oh yeah, baby

Yes, I love you for a reason
Time on my side, now you understand
Oh, baby, my time is at hand
Oh, it gets higher and higher
It’s a divine given power
Those love lickin’ lips take me higher and higher!
Don’t get in my time, no way
Ooh, you’d be a fool now, baby, such a fool now, baby
Oh, can’t change my way, ooh, what I say
You’d be a fool, baby, such a fool now, baby
Oh!
