Time On My Hands

  • I used to have a true love
    Everything was fine
    But now she's found a new love
    She's no longer mine
    I thought it was forever
    But she had other plans
    Now these arms are empty
    And I've got time on my hands

    I turned my collar up
    Kept my eyes turned down
    I walked the empty streets
    The blue side of town
    When she was my baby
    I was a busy man
    But she slipped through my fingers
    And I've got time on my hands

    Time on my hands
    The lesson's been learned
    I'm over her now
    That bridge has been burned

    Time on my hands
    The lesson's been learned
    I'm over her now
    That bridge has been burned

    So, if you're feeling lonely
    Well, I've been lonely, too
    Then you'll need a one and only
    Who'll be good to you
    A heart that's good and steady
    Someone who understands
    Well, these two arms are empty
    And I've got time on my hands Writer/s: Daniel Keyes Tashian, Joseph Henry Burnett III, Paul Kennerley
