Too Busy Thinking About My Baby
The Manhattan Transfer feat. Phil Collins Lyrics

Listen to me people
Pay attention to what I'm about to say

I ain't got time to think about
I don't have the luxury of contemplating

Money or what it can buy
The materialistic things that money can purchase

And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder
I'm too busy to ponder

What make the birdies fly.
The reason behind the flight of birds

And I don't have time to think about
I cannot afford the time to meditate on

What makes the flowers grow,
The mechanics that bring about the growth of flowers

Ain't never give it a second thought
I've never put much consideration into it

To where the rivers flow.
The destination of the course of rivers

And I ain't got time for nothin' else.
I don't have the capacity for anything else

Now I ain't got time to discuss the weather,
I can't manage to chat about the weather

And how long it's going to last
The duration of the weather's effect

And I ain't got time to do no studying
I cannot squeeze in any study sessions

Once I get out of class.
When my classes have ended for the day

I'm telling you I'm just a fellow with a one track mind,
I'm making it clear that I am a man of singular focus

And when it comes to thinkin' about
When it involves reflecting on

Anything but my baby,
Anything other than my significant other

I just don't have the time.
I am too preoccupied to spare any mental effort for other thoughts

Oh yeah
An expression of affirmation

And I ain't got time for nothin' else.
I do not have any inclination for anything else

Don't you know I, I'm thinking about my baby
Do you not realize that my thoughts are consumed by my lover?

I ain't got time for nothin' else
Any other pursuit is not worth my time

Yeah the world could ever match her wealth,
The riches of the world pale in comparison to her value

She's some kinda wonderful,
She is an indescribable wonder

Got heaven right here on earth
I am blessed to have her in my life, making this world heaven-like

'Cause I'm just a fellow with a one track mind
My way of thinking is narrow-minded

And when it comes to thinkin about
When it pertains to pondering

Anything but my baby,
Anything other than my loved one

I just don't have the time
I am too occupied with thoughts of her to spare any attention for anything else

I'm too busy thinkin' about my baby
My partner is constantly on my mind

Oh I ain't got time for nothin' else
Other topics or activities are not a priority for me

Too busy thinkin' about my baby
The thought of my significant other takes precedence above all else

Ain't got time for nothing else
I cannot allocate time or attention to anything else

Oh yeah
An expression of enthusiasm

Oh yeah
An expression of affirmation

I ain't go, I ain't got no time
I do not have any time
