Too Busy Thinking About My Baby
Goldee Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to me people
I ain't got time to think about
Money or what it can buy
And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder
What make the birdies fly.

And I don't have time to think about
What makes the flowers grow,
Ain't never give it a second thought
To where the rivers flow.

And I ain't got time for nothin' else.

Now I ain't got time to discuss the weather,
And how long it's going to last
And I ain't got time to do no studying
Once I get out of class.

I'm telling you I'm just a fellow with a one track mind,
And when it comes to thinkin' about
Anything but my baby,
I just don't have the time.

Oh yeah
And I ain't got time for nothin' else.
Don't you know I, I'm thinking about my baby
I ain't got time for nothin' else

Yeah the world could ever match her wealth,
She's some kinda wonderful,
Got heaven right here on earth

'Cause I'm just a fellow with a one track mind
And when it comes to thinkin about
Anything but my baby,
I just don't have the time

I'm too busy thinkin' about my baby
Oh I ain't got time for nothin' else
Too busy thinkin' about my baby
Ain't got time for nothing else

Oh yeah




Oh yeah
I ain't go, I ain't got no time
