Transcribed by Rene Rojas

I couldn't hurt you
And I won't desert you
But I haven't got the time
To say that I love you
Said I haven't got the time

Oooh when I'm calling you boy
And you say you're leaving home

If you leave me
Oooh
If you leave me
Oooh
If you leave
Pease don't go away, yeah

If you leave
And there's one thing you know I can't say

And after last night
You wanted a fight
But I haven't got the time

At the Copper Horse you held my hand
When you told me I never blinked
A cigarette and I begin to think

Other opinions

good up-tempo track, with 70's sounding wah-wah guitars and strings. basically about a relationship where she hasn't dumped him because she can't be bothered to make the effort...
