Verse 1:
Where are you walking, Ive seen you walking
Have you been there before?
Walk down your doorsteps, youll take some more steps
What did you take them for?
Theres a private in my boat and he wears
Pins instead of medals on his coat
Theres a chicken in my nest and she wont
Lay until Ive given her my best
At her request she asks for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you want she brings you water
If you dont then you will burn

Verse 2:
You go through changes, it may seem strange
Is this what youre put here for?
You think youre happy and you are happy
Thats what youre happy for
Theres a man who cant decide if he should
Fight for what his father thinks is right
There are people wearing frowns wholl screw you up
But they would rather screw you down
At my request I ask for nothing
You get nothing in return
If youre nice shell bring me water
If youre not then I will burn

--- part ii (2:20) ---

Verse 1:
This is the time and life that I am living
And Ill face each day with a smile
For the time that Ive been givens such a little while
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
[1: there are places that I am going
4: therell be time for you to start all over]

Verse 2:
This is the only thing that I am sure of
And thats all that lives is gonna die
And therell always be some people here to wonder why
And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
Therell be time for you to put yourself on

Verse 3:
Everything Ive seen needs rearranging
And for anyone who thinks its strange
Then you should be the first to want to make this change
And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
Do you like the part youre playing

Bridge (4:03):
I see your picture
Its in the same old frame
We meet again
You look so lovely
You with the same old smile
Stay for a while
I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if you take it easy
Im still teethin
I wanna love you, but
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[repeat verse 1]

This is the time and this is the time and
It is time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...

I'm not a poet,
How well i know it,
I've never been a raver,
But when i speak of you,
I rave a bit, its true.

I'm wild about you,
I'm lost without you,
You give my life its flavor,
What sugar does for tea,
Thats what you do for me.

You're the cream in my coffee,
You're the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

You're the starch in my collar,
You're the lace in my shoe
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

Most girls tell love tales,
And each phrase dovetails
You've heard each known way,
This way is my own way:

You're the sail of my loveboat,
You're the captain and crew,
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you.

You're the cream in my coffee,
You're the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

You are my life savor,
You bring out that certain flavor,
So dear, this is clear, dear,
You're my worcestershire, dear!

You're the sail in my loveboat,
You're the captain and crew,
You will always be my necessity,
