For the time, for the time
It's about to get me down now
For the time, for the time
Yes, it's about to get me down
Well, I've spent all my young life
with a woman
Now she don't even
want me around,
no, no, no
But she told me she loved me
when I was younger
People, believe every word was true
Oh, she told me she loved me
when I was younger,
when I was younger, oh yeah
I believed, I believed every word was true
She says I'm going old
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
Now all she wants is an old man
It's just two Spanish chains
Now, of you've got a young
man to do her lovin'
You know that's a cryin' shame
But for the time, for the time, for the time
Oh, it's bout to get me down
I done spent all my young life
with a woman creeper
Now she don't even,
don't even want me around
Oh, when she left me this morning
People I was just wringing my
hands and crying
Oh, when she left me this morning,
yes this morning
People, was just wringing my head to cry
Yeah, darling
She said, don't worry about me,
big daddy
You better go and talk with Father Tyne
