You can drive your money to a big tall bank Flaunt your colors and pull your rank But sooner or later, it's an empty tank That brings you round to find Baby, it's all about time Ain't it just all about time People thinking that the clock don't see When they waste their time so casually But when it all comes down to a memory That's when you'll realize Baby, it's all about time Ain't it just all about time You don't know when your number's ever coming up Remember when we were falling in the summer fields Life goes on and you can't just leave it up to luck Better keep an open eye 'cause baby, it's all about time You and me, seems we never change Look out the window and watch the children play They grow up and then they move away And so it goes down the line Baby, it's all about time Oh ain't it just all about time Ain't it just all about time
