[Verse 1]
Patience, I don't got that
Defense, like a left back
I'm fucked up, but that's off track
I'm guarded, but I'm sure that

[Refrain]
I'm gonna be letting you down
Gonna be, gonna be letting you down
Tonight (Tonight), again
'Cause I know that you'll be back around
Know that you'll, know that you'll be back around
Tonight, again

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't got no time for that, time for that
And I don't pay no mind to that, mind to that
So if we keep this under wraps, under wraps
Then we can get right back to that, back to that

[Chorus]
'Cause every time I say, "No, no, no"
Every time I say, "No, no, no"
There's a knock on my door
Every quarter past 4:00
And every time I say, "Go, go, go"
Every time I say, "Go, go, go"
You be at the front door
Every quarter past 4:00
[Verse 2]
Heartache, not on my time
My type, no, you won't find
Knocking on the spotlight
But I won't bide 'til the time's right

[Refrain]
'Cause I'm gonna be letting you down
Gonna be, gonna be letting you down
Tonight (Tonight), again
'Cause I know that you'll be back around
Know that you'll, know that you'll be back around
Tonight, again

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't got no time for that, time for that
And I don't pay no mind to that, mind to that
So if we keep this under wraps, under wraps
Then we can get right back to that, back to that

[Chorus]
'Cause every time I say, "No, no, no"
Every time I say, "No, no, no"
There's a knock on my door
Every quarter past 4:00
And every time I say, "Go, go, go"
Every time I say, "Go, go, go"
You be at the front door
Every quarter past 4:00
[Bridge]
Gonna be letting you down
Know that you'll be back around again

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't got no time for that, time for that (I need time, need time for that, baby)
And I don't pay no mind to that, mind to that (I don't pay no mind to that, darling)
So if we keep this under wraps, under wraps (We can get right back to that, baby)
Then we can get right back to that, back to that

[Chorus]
'Cause every time I say, "No, no, no" (Every time I say, "No")
Every time I say, "No, no, no" (Every time I say, "No")
There's a knock on my door
Every quarter past 4:00
And every time I say, "Go, go, go" (Every time I say, "Go," yeah)
Every time I say, "Go, go, go"
You be at the front door
Every quarter past 4:00
