Time Ain't Money Lyrics


If money is the root of all evil
I'd like to be a bad, bad man
'Cause I'm sittin' here with nothing but time
Trying to make you understand
My time for you is as good as gold
But I ain't got but one dime
If I could just get out of this soul
Baby, we could have a good time, oh yeah
Man said time is on my side
He never knew me that well
'Cause I've got plenty of time on my hands
Time ain't easy to sell
If I could just get a little bit ahead
Think of the things we could do
I'd take my time, your little hand in mine
Spend a lot of money on you
But time ain't money
You know it's a shame

Time ain't money
Unfortunate thang
Time ain't money
Know it's a bitch
If time was money
I'd already be rich
Supposed to be a check at the union
If only I could pick it up
But I got hit with some bad family shit
It looks like I'm out of luck
If I could be a very rich man
Baby, you know that it's true
If I had a dime for every minute of time
I spend thinking of you
Time ain't money
You know it's a shame
Time ain't money
Unfortunate thang
Time ain't money
And you know it's a bitch
If time was money, you know honey
I'd already be rich
If money is the root of all evil
I'd like to be a bad, bad man
'Cause I'm sittin' here with nothing but time
Trying to make you understand
My love for you is as good as gold
But I ain't got but one dime
If I could just get out of this soul
Baby, we could have a good time
But if time, time ain't money
You know it's a shame
And time ain't money
Unfortunate thang
Time ain't money
And you know it's a bitch
'Cause if time was money
Oh honey
Time ain't money
Time ain't money
Time ain't money
I know what they say
Time ain't money
Time ain't money
Time ain't money
Unless you're gettin' paid
Time ain't money
Time ain't money
'Cause if time was money
Oh honey, I'd already be rich
If you got the money honey, I got the time

Huey Lewis & the News is a Academy Award-nominated American rock band based in San Francisco, California. Their greatest success was in the 1980s, when they were one of the most popular music acts of the decade and released several gold and platinum albums. The band is known for writing simple, light-hearted songs from a working-class perspective and typically appealed to yuppies and baby boomers.

Combining a rock (and sometimes, a blues rock) backing with harmony vocals and Lewis's voice, Huey Lewis & the News had numerous hit songs during the 1980s and early 1990s, including "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" (both of which were featured in the film "Back to the Future"), "I Want a New Drug", "Doin' It All (For My Baby)", "Do You Believe in Love?" "Hip to Be Square", "Stuck With You", and "Jacob's Ladder". Huey Lewis shared three Grammy awards, an American Music Award, and a People's Choice Award along with several artists for his role singing the 1985 charity song "We Are the World".

The track 'Hip to Be Square" features prominently in the 2000 movie "American Psycho", starring Christian Bale as serial killer Patrick Bateman. In both the film and the book it was based on, Bateman is a hardcore fan of the band.
