No Time
Nina Nesbitt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Champagne, crystal clear, sun-kissed, dirty hair
Old friends, no snakes, real bags, no fakes
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Lately I've been a little sad bitch
I guess it's something that just happens
When you let in all of the darkness
So if they kill my vibe
Then I cut them out my life
Took me by surprise
'Cause my life's so good, so good, so good
Oh fuck, mm-mm-mm-mm
And I got no time now for my life to suck, mm-mm-mm-mm
Yeah, I got no time now for my life to suck
No stupid games, bad guys, falling for white lies
I want sneaker shoes, clear skin and pretty views
Good sex, love for life
And I'd choose you
I'd choose you
Lately I've been a little sad bitch
I guess it's something that just happens
When you let in all of the darkness
It's one of my favorite habits
So if they kill my vibe
Then I cut them out my life
Took me by surprise
'Cause my life's so good, so good, so good
Oh fuck, mm-mm-mm-mm
And I got no time now for my life to suck, mm-mm-mm-mm
Yeah, I got no time now for my life to suck
(Oh) Mmm
(Oh) My life to suck
(Oh)
(Oh) 'Cause I got no time now for my life to suck
If they make me cry
If they drag me down
Then I tell them all goodbye
'Cause I got no time now for my life to
If they make me sad
Or fill me up with doubts
Then I tell them all goodbye
'Cause I got no time now for my life to suck
