Find The Time
5 Star Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You keep me waitin' and I don't understand
But I'm tryin' hard to keep my cool
No use in hidin', I know where you are
‘Cuz you leave too many clues
Why do you say that you want me
When someone else is holdin' you
(Someone's holdin' you)
You know I'm ready to see you
So find the time

Find the time
When will you find the time
When will you find the time
When will you find the time

I'm tellin' everyone that you're still my man
I can hear them laugh behind my back
Oh, come on and prove it to me, show me I'm right
‘Cause it's time to face the facts
So many lovers all over the place
But they never mean that much to you
(Mean that much to you)
You know it's me that you really want
So find the time

Find the time
When will you find the time
(Come on baby, find the time)
When will you find the time
When will you find the time
When will you find some time for me?
Find the time
When will you find the time
When will you find the time
When will you find the time

You keep me waitin' and I don't understand
But I'm tryin' hard to keep my cool
No use in hidin', I know where you are
‘Cause you leave too many clues
Why do you say that you want me
When someone else is holdin' you
(Someone's holdin' you)
You know it's me that you really need
So find the time

Find the time
When will you find the time
(Come on baby, find the time)
When will you find the time
When will you find the time
When will you find some time for me?
Find the time
When will you find the time
When will you find the time
When will you find the time

Oh, I'm telling everybody that you're still my man
Oh I can hear them laugh behind my back
You gotta find the
You gotta find the
Find the time




Baby
Find the time…

The singer expresses their frustration at being kept waiting and not being able to understand why their love interest keeps saying they want to be with them while also being with someone else. However, despite this, the singer still holds on to the hope that their love interest will come around, and they urge them to find the time to be with them.


The lyrics are full of references to the singer's confusion and disappointment. They feel that they are being laughed at behind their back because their love interest is not committing to them.

I've always loved Five Star and cannot understand how or why they've never achieved number 1 hits. They were brilliant. I wish they would come back!

Rain or Shine peaked at no. 2 in the UK. But ya, never number ones sadly

Yes. They were superb. As good as any band of their generation, on either side of the Atlantic.

Jarvamon

No number one singles... BUT their 2nd album DID hit number 1 in the UK... spent over a year on the chart and selling a million plus copies in the UK alone
