NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Looking For The Time (Workin' Girl)

(Nanci Griffith)



Well, I work this corner from eleven to five

The hands get cold around midnight

You're askin' me if I've got the time... well I don't know

But you're wastin' mine tonight



[Chorus:]

Whoa... you say you're looking for the time

Well, I'm a workin' girl... you just wasted mine

If you ain't got money... take it down the avenue

'cuz I ain't got time for you... until daylight



This sidewalk ice is cold as steel...

I'm not Dorothy... I can't click my heels

One of these days I'll move to L. A.

Where the nights stay warm and the boys come out to play



[Chorus]



Don't the snow light up the midnight sky

The snow plows roll and the limos fly

Don't cha know it's just another night



Oh, once I had a lover who treated me right

He lived so wrong he's doin' ninety-nine

Oh, I wish you had the money and I had the time

'Cuz I'd just let those limos slide on by



[Chorus 2x]
