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
