Everybody's lover
You don't know

And I

You ain't goin
Too far are ya
Cause I ain't got no time
Takin all these chances

In front of me
These days
Tell me
If you love me
Cause I can't hold on
To something
I never had at all
You ain't goin
Too far are ya
Cause I ain't got no time to waste
You ain't goin
Too far are ya
Cause I ain't got no time
To waste
I ain't got
A single day
But I
Ain't goin back in time
For you
So you better look say why
Say why

Cause I ain't got no time
No time

In Kelly Hafner's song "No Time," the lyrics seem to convey a sense of urgency and the need for clarity in a relationship. The singer addresses a person who is seemingly everyone's lover, but lacks direction and purpose in their own life. The first lines suggest that the singer will take this person home to meet their mother, indicating a desire for a deeper connection and commitment. However, the repeated phrase "You ain't goin' too far are ya" implies that the singer is questioning the other person's level of dedication and whether they are truly invested in the relationship.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses frustration with the uncertainty of their love interest's feelings. They long for honesty and assurance, stating that they cannot hold on to something that was never truly theirs. This may suggest that the other person has been giving mixed signals or avoiding commitment.
The repeated refrain of "Cause I ain't got no time to waste" emphasizes the singer's urgency in wanting clarity and decisiveness. They imply that they are not willing to wait around indefinitely for their love interest to figure things out. The final lines of the song emphasize this further, asserting that the singer does not have the luxury of wasting time or going back in time for someone who isn't fully committed.
