[Chorus: The Temptations]
No time, no time, no time
Oh, oh, oh, ooh

[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks]
No time for boatin' and fishin'
No time for hopin' and wishin'
I've got to get up and make my move
I've got love for you I have to prove
And I spend every day tryin' to think of a way
To get you, hoo

[Chorus: The Temptations]
No time, no time, no time
Oh, oh, oh, ooh

[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks]
No time to talk with the fellows
No time for more than just hellos
But they all understand and wish me well
'Cause you're so right for me and they can tell
A man understands, gotta do what I can
To get you, baby

[Bridge: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
No matter what I have to go through, baby
I'm doing what I can to show it, baby
That you're the right girl for me, and when I kiss tenderly
The girl in my arms she'll be
You, hoo-ooh
[Chorus: The Temptations]
No time, no time, no time
Oh, oh, oh, ooh

[Verse 3: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
No time for subtle advances (Baby, no time)
Don't want to take any chances (Or leave enough time)
You're all my hopes and dreams rolled into one
I'm doing everything that can be done
To make it me that you choose, can't afford to lose

[Outro: The Temptations & Eddie Kendricks]
No time, no time, no time
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
(Can't afford to lose no time)
No time, no time, no time
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
(Can't afford to waste no time)
No time, no time, no time
