Time For Music
Turntablerocker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peelin' the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
You said, "We'd work it out"
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough
I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
Oh I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
Oh, don't you know
It's time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
Oh I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
It's time for me to fly
It's time for me to fly
It's time for me to fly




It's time for me to fly
It's time for me to fly

Mal wieder Zeit für einen Kommentar. Jetzt müsste einem nur noch was gutes einfallen...

Ist richtig chillig, hat ein bisschen was von Funk, Rock und Snoop Doggy Dog im Sound. Geiler Song.
