A Little Time
[Verse 1]
I need a little time to think it over
I need a little space just on my own
I need a little time to find my freedom
I need a little...

[Counter-Verse 1]
Funny how quick the milk turns sour
Isn't it, isn't it?
Your face has been looking like that for hours
Hasn't it, hasn't it?
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust...

[Verse 2]
I need a little room to find myself
I need a little space to work it out
I need a little room all alone
I need a little...

[Counter-Verse 2]
You need a little room for your big head
Don't you, don't you?
You need a little space for a thousand beds
Won't you, won't you?
Lips that promise, fear the worst
Tongue so sharp, the bubble burst
Just into unjust...
[Verse 3]
I've had a little time to find the truth
Now I've had a little room to check what's wrong
I've had a little time, and I still love you
I've had a little...

[Counter-Verse 3]
You had a little time and you had a little fun
Didn't ya, didn't you?
While you had yours, do you think I had none
Do you, do ya?
The freedom that you wanted bad
Is yours for good, I hope you're glad
Sad into unsad...

[Verse 4]
I had a little time to think it over
Had a little room to work it out
I found a little courage to call it off
I've had a little time...

[Outro] x3
I've had a little time...
