If you're lonely, wait awhile
Someone's coming by who'll fit your style
All it takes is time sweet time alive
To be giving you good reason to survive

Well I was lonely all my life
Half of me been fire and half been ice
All it took was time sweet time alive
To be giving me good reason to survive

There's so many ways for a man to show his love
So many ways I can't even think of
But I showed mine with pain and I cried every mile
When all it really takes is time and a smile

So if you're lonely, step inside
I've got room for you and all you hide
All it takes is time sweet time alive
To be giving you good reason to know I love you
