[Intro]
We got something to say, ya know
It's one of those joints here
Yolanda, check this out, ya know
It's time to change, Yolanda

[Chorus]
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday

[Verse 1]
A man that I know from the neighborhood
Whenever I see him he's up to no good
Taking from others to get what he wants
And he thinks that there's no way he'll ever get caught

[Chorus]
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
[Verse 2]
Husband and wife a baby girl, there happy
But then there's a woman from down the street
Writing letters and sending pictures and
Doing all that she can, trying hard to gain
The attention of a married man (girl ya wrong now)

[Chorus]
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday

[Verse 3]
Ya, story is, I'm just a kid, and it's all in fun
Ya never stop to realize ya hurting someone
How would you feel if everything was turned around
And everyday somebody was putting you down

[Chorus]
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
It's been too long it's time to change
Can't get away with every thing
Please tell me why you wait
Gotta answer for yourself someday
