Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How do we always do this?

Turn ourselves around

Remember when those sweet memories

Used to soothe us, used to make us smile

[Verse 2]

We put on our Sunday best

We live our quiet mess

But we'll never be married

[Verse 3]

I know that I've been cold

Baby, I, I ain't got no soul

I have had those sweet sugar thoughts

They're taken away from me

They can't nab me no more

I just have to be so unhappy

[Verse 4]

We put on our Sunday best

We live our quiet mess

But we'll never be married

[Verse 5]

Give me time

Give me time, give me time

Oh, oh

[Verse 6]

You've got to give me time

Please don't leave me, baby

I can't have you leavin' me

[Verse 7]

I know where it is you've gone

That old grass ain't greener

That old grass ain't greener

I know baby, 'cause I've been there

I know it ain't, I know it ain't

It ain't greener

I know it ain't, I know, I know, I know

[Verse 8]

Time, time, time

Oh, sweet time

Please don't leave me, please don't leave me

[Verse 9]

Time, time, time

Oh, sweet time

Please don't leave me, please don't leave me

I can't have you leavin' me

Please don't leave me

Please don't leave me
