Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is
‘Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
So you’ll come runnin’ back
That you’ll come runnin back
You’ll come runnin’ back to me

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is, baby
‘Cause you always said
That you want to be free
But you’ll come runnin’ back
You’ll come runnin’ back
You’ll come runnin’ back to me, to me

Go ahead, go ahead and lie to me, baby
And do anything that you wanna do
And I told ya, ya know I told ya so many times before
You’re gonna come back, baby
You’re gonna come back
Knockin’ at my door

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is
‘Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
So you’ll come runnin’ back
That you’ll come runnin’ back
You’ll come runnin’ back to me, to me, to me

Oh, time is on my side
You know it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
