Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I was walkin' down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me
What the time was that was on my watch, yeah
And I said
(I don't)
Does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care)
Does anybody really care?
(About time)
If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh, no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry
[Verse 2]
And I was walkin' down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and
Said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead
And I said
(I don't)
Does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care)
Does anybody really care?
(About time)
If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh, no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry
[Verse 3]
And I was walkin' down the street one day
(People runnin' everywhere)
Being pushed and shoved by people
(Don't know where to go)
Tryin' to beat the clock
(can't see past the next step)
Oh, I just don't know, don't know
(Don't have time to think past the next stop)
(They have no time to look around)
I said, yes, I said
(They just run around, run around, and think why)
[Verse 4]
(I don't)
Does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care)
Does anybody really care?
(About time)
If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh, no, no)
We've all got time enough to die
Everybody's worryin'
(I don't care)
I don't care
(About time)
About time
I don't care
