Time Is on My Side

Patti Smith

Tick Tack Tick Tack, Tick Tack
Fuck The Clock

(Time is on my side), yes it is.
(Time is on my side), yes it is.

Now you always say,
That you want to be free.
But (you'll come runnin' back,)
Like I said you would, baby.
(You'll come runnin' back,)
Like I told you so many times befo'e.
(You'll come runnin' back to me.)

Yeah, (time is on my side), yes it is.
(Time is on my side), yes it is.

You're searchin' for good times,
But just wait and see.
(You'll come runnin' back.)
I'll take your word, darlin'.
(You'll come runnin' back.)
Like I told you so many times befo'e.
(You'll come runnin' back to me.)

Go ahead, baby, go ahead.
Go ahead and light up the town,
And baby, do everything your heart desires.
Remember, I'll always be around,
And I know, I know,
Like I told you so many times befo'e,
You're gonna come back.
Yeah, you're gonna come back, baby.
Come Back Come Back, Come Back,

(Time is on my side), yes it is.
(Time is on my side), yes it is.

'Cause I got the real love,
The kind that you need.
(You'll come runnin' back,)
I knew you would, one day.
(You'll come runnin' back,)
I told you befo'e.
(You'll come runnin' back, to me.)

Yeah, (time, time, time is on my side), yes it is.
I said, (time, time, time is on my side), yes it is.
[Fade.]
I said, (time, time, time is on my side.)
