HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS lyrics - Time Ain't Money

If money is the root of all evil

I'd like to be a bad, bad man

'Cause I'm sittin' here

With nothing but time

Trying to make you understand



My love for you is as good as gold

But I ain't got but one dime

If I could just get out of this soul

Baby we could have a good time



Man said time was on my side

He never knew me that well

'Cause I've got plenty of time on my hands

Time ain't easy to sell



If I could just get a little bit ahead

Think of the things we could do

I'd take your tiny little hand in mine

Spend a lot of money on you



But time ain't money

You know it's a shame

Time ain't money

Unfortune thang

Time ain't money

You know it's a bitch

If time was money

I'd already be rich



Suppose to be a check at the union

If only I could pick it up

I got hit with some bad family shit

It looks like I'm out of luck



I could be a very rich man

Baby you know that its true

If I had a dime for every minute of time

I spend thinking of you



But time ain't money

You know it's a shame

Time ain't money

Unfortune thang

Time ain't money

You know it's a bitch

If time was money

I'd already be rich



If money is the root of all evil

I'd like to be a bed ridden man

'Cause I'm sittin' here

With nothing but time

Trying to make you understand



My love for you is as good as gold

But I ain't got but one dime

If I could just get out of this soul

Baby we could have a good time



But time ain't money

You know it's a shame

Time ain't money

Unfortune thang

Time ain't money

You know it's a bitch

If time was money

I'd already be rich
