You take-a-take and you a-gave-gave-gave what you get 
And you'll make, make, make and you'll pretend what you forget 
You never take time, no, you'll never take mine 

But if you don't, you could be getting, you'll be getting again 
If you don't, you will be getting, you'll be getting again 
If you don't, you will be getting, you'll be getting again 
And would you want, you won't be on time 

You cross the street, you got the feelin' on me
You never listened to the reason, you tell to me 
You never listened to time, you never build up the times 

You never listen, you will get, you get, you get what you get 
You never listen, you will get, you get, you get what you get 
You never listened beyond the time 

And on the street, they're all talkin' 'bout the things you should listen 
And on the news, they're always excusin'
And when you tell your friends what you think you ever 
And, no, there's nothin' like time, to teach you where you have been 
And there is nothing like time, to give you things you can need 

But when you listen to the rhythm of the movements that's right 
And you've been tellin' me, always tell me right 
It's not nothin' I know, it's just somethin' outside 
You always listen your way, but you take time to get what you want 
And you tell me it's time I am wrong 
And you will live in this world, and you'll get what you get 
And you get what you get, and you will get what you get 

But when you tell me there's another time 
And when you tell me there's another time 
I won't remember what you're tellin' me it's time 
I won't forget, I won't forget, I won't forget that it's time 

It's time, you get what you get (time)
You get what you get, you get, you get, you get what you get (time)
And you'll know when it's time, you'll get it all on yourself (time)
You'll get it again, you will be getting again (time)
On time, you'll get what you get (time)
Time, you get what you get (time)
When you take time You get what you get, you get what you get
