Time is on my side, yes it is (Yes, yes)
Time is on my side, yes it is (Yes, yes)
Now you always say that you wanna be free
(You'll come runnin' back)
Just like I hoped you would, baby
(You'll come runnin' back)
I won't have to cry no more
(You'll come runnin' back)
Uh-huh
(To me) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Time is on my side, yes it is (Yes, yes, yeah)
Time is on my side, yes it is (Yes, yes)
I know that you're searching for good times (Ooh)
But just wait and see (Ooh)
(You'll come runnin' back)
One of these days, baby
(You'll come runnin' back)
Oh, and it won't be long
(You'll come runnin' back)
Oh, all my worries will be over
(To me) 'Cause I'll have my baby home

[Bridge]
Go right ahead, baby
Go ahead and light up the town
And baby, do everything your heart desires
Just remember, I'll still be around
And I know, I know
Like I told you so many times before
You're gonna come back
Yes, you're gonna come back a-knocking
Knocking on my door
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Time is on my side, yes it is (Yes, yes, yeah)
Time is on my side, yes it is (Yes, yes)
And I've got some real love, the kind that you need

That's why I know there's gonna be [?]
(You'll come runnin' back)
I'm not gonna have to worry no more
(You'll come runnin' back)
(To me) All of my worries will be over

[Outro]
Time, time, time is on my side
Yes it is, yeah (Yes, yes)
Time, time, time is on my side
You're gonna come runnin' back to me (Yes, yes)
Time, time, time, oh, is on my side
