I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
I had to take some time
Take some time

You know I’m needing you for so much pleasure
I’m always wanting you to take me there
I need to be the one to tell you that you’re on the right road
And how some time alone is only fair

You know I’m renowned
And feel it’s a lonely time I’ve had
But it never felt that bad

I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time

I wish you’d known me when I was much younger
As I closed my eyes upon the world
But now an open mind which seems much stronger
A perfect doubting of your every word

You know I’m renowned
And feel it’s a lonely time I’ve had
But it never felt that bad

I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time

C’mon c’mon
C’mon c’mon
C’mon c’mon
C’mon c’mon

You know I’m renowned
For the lonely time I’ve had
But it never felt that bad

I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time

I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time

Never took the time
Never took the time
Never took the time
To stop me
I always wanted you to stop me
You never took the time
