[Intro]
(What we're gonna do right here is go back
Way back, back into time)
(Get funky with it)
(Get funky with it)
(Get funky with it)
(Get funky with it)
(Get funky with it)

[Chorus: En Vogue]
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on

[Verse 1: Maxine Jones]
It seems forever, since time began
So full of mysteries we don't understand
Searching for answers and remedies
As problems plague us like an enemy

[Pre-Chorus: Terry Ellis]
Round and round in circles we go
Will we ever stop? Nobody knows
Running with the hands of time
Always reaching, still we seem to find
Time just marches on
[Verse 2: Maxine Jones]
So many blinded by life today
When will we realize love's the only way?
It's time to wake up
'Cause times have changed
Time waits for no one
It's a crucial game

[Pre-Chorus: Terry Ellis]
Round and round in circles we go
Will we ever stop? Nobody knows
Running with the hands of time
Always reaching, still we seem to find
Time just marches on

[Bridge: Maxine Jones]
Take care of business, don't procrastinate
We must decide on what becomes our fate
Nation to nation, love is the key
Let's take the time, we need more unity

[Pre-Chorus: Terry Ellis]
Round and round in circles we go
Will we ever stop? Nobody knows
Running with the hands of time
Always reaching, still we seem to find
Time just marches on
[Chorus: En Vogue]
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on

[Bridge: Terry Ellis]
(Get funky with it)
Round and round, round and round

[Chorus: En Vogue]
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
Time goes on

[Bridge: Terry Ellis]
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Round and round, round and round
(Get funky with it)
Round and round in circles we go
(Get funky with it)
Round and round
(Get funky with it)
Round and round in circles we go
Round and round
[Chorus: En Vogue]
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on
On and on, time goes on
Never stops, just goes on

[Outro: Terry Ellis & En Vogue]
Round and round, round and round (Time goes on)
Round and round in circles we go (Just goes on)
Round and round, round and round (Time goes on)
Round and round in circles we go (Never stops, just goes on)
Round and round (On and on)
Round and round, round and round in circles we go
Round and round (On and on)
Round and round, round and round in circles we go
