Betty Wright
Killing Time
[Verse 1]
Maybe life is better off this way
But what about the others who aren't here today?
We struggle with the tide fallin' with our heart
But then, in my mind, no point in killin' time

[Chorus]
You better stop what you're doin'
Before you do it all wrong again
You better stop what you're doin'
Before you do it all wrong again
Ooh

[Verse 2]
I have tried to put it from my mind
To bury all the trouble that I left behind
But still, I can't explain; the words, I just can't find
And I can't understand it, ain't nothin' gonna change my mind

[Chorus]
You better stop what you're doin'
Before you do it all wrong again
(You will have to get it right this time)
See, you better stop what you're doin'
Before you do it all wrong again, uh
(You will have to get it right this time)
Ooh
[Bridge]
I know I may be young
And know nothin' of this world (Mm)
Oh, Lord, it's been long in its comin', oh
I don't care if my words sound absurd
This play won't play this time

[Chorus]
You better stop what you're doin'
Before you do it all wrong again
You do it all wrong again (You will have to get it right this time)
Stop what you're doin', oh, yeah
You better stop what you're doin'
Before you do it all wrong again
You do it all wrong again, ooh, yeah (You will have to get it right this time)
You do it all wrong again, ooh, yeah

[Bridge]
Can't get it out of my mind
Can't you see that I'm not blind? Uh
I can see what you're doin'
Stop what you're doin', boy
What will it take for you to
Recognise your mistakes, boy? Uh
Ooh, I was countin' on you
But now, I know you're just a first-class fool
[Chorus]
Stop what you're doin' (You're just a, you're just a first-class fool)
Before you do it all wrong again (Ooh, yeah)
Stop what you're doin', boy
Before you do it all wrong again
Stop what you're doin' (I know you'll do it all wrong again)
Before you do it all wrong again (You better stop what you're doin')
Get it right this time
First-class fool, first-class fool, yeah

[Outro]
Stop what you're doin'
Before you do it all wrong again
You will have to get it right this time
Before it gets all outta hand
