GIVE A LITTLE TIME
Verse1:
I remember a time when life decided to ship me to the lost and found.
And I talked with a lady on a 800 line about getting my feet on the ground.
I told her “I’ve been through every religious pathway
a person could possibly be. And I don’t have the funds to thank you enough
for the advice that you’ve given to me.”
Chorus:
And she said,
“Oh, oh, oh, give a little.
Give a little time if you don’t have the money.
Oh, oh, oh, give a little.
Give a little time”.
Verse2:
Now the bill collectors are calling on the phone and the gasman is at my door. Inflations high and gas is on the rise. Everybody’s wanting more. Now I’m just a woman of 24 years and I don’t like to waste a dime. But the only way to get is to learn how to give. Greed is such a crime.
Chorus
And she said,
“Oh, oh, oh, give a little.
Give a little time if you don’t have the money.
Oh, oh, oh, give a little.
Give a little time”.
Break
Verse3: Now you can call me independent cause I’m living out on my own.
But if it weren’t for my family and my friends I don’t know what I would have done. Now I don’t believe in taking all but there are times when you can really need. So when I think of this I remember the words that lady said to me.
Chorus
And she said,
“Oh, oh, oh, give a little,
Give a little time if you don’t have the money.
Oh, oh, oh, give a little. Give a little time”.
