The Time Has Come
Fantastic Negrito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey woman where'd we go wrong you
Were my lady my sweet angel girl
Hey woman dance with me slow tell me
All your worries cause I don't want you to go
And you say the time has come for you to go away
But you know baby I wont let you leave
Hey woman put down your sword
Clean out the cupboards cause I'm coming back home
Pretty baby don't you hear me knocking?

At the door to your heart
Don't leave me standing out here
Pretty baby out here in the cold
And you say the time has come for you to go away
But you know baby I wont let you leave
And you say that the time has come to go away
But you know baby I wont let you leave




Pretty baby open the door lets order
Some takeout and laugh on the floor
