| For seven years I was lonely, | |
| drinking coffee, smelling the true scent of life's muse. | |
| In seven years I came restless, without content. | |
| Never followed my men from sorrow. | |
| I bought some time and drank that wine | |
| all through those nights and never cried. | |
| For seven years I was lonely, drinking coffee, | |
| Sprinkling the garden to get a little company. | |
| We borrowed time. | |
| Don't follow my tune. | |
| Just grab her right. | |
| When you've got that feeling, get on your feet and stop that whirling. | |
| Nobody likes a cute boy trying to be nice, when a girl wants to party. | |
| Keep it on and get your slick hat up. | |
| Just walk across the dance floor and look her up, | |
| and if girls come up your trail then just look the other way and give it some time. | |
| I'm sure that everything will be alright, | |
| but don't forget to keep me posted all night long. | |
| Just give me some time, time, time, time, time. |
