She said, hey babe, won't you meet me tonight
Make away, get away, on the double and
Plant your feet at the door, and say bye
Listen to me honey, your time ain't money
He said give me some time, gimme some time
He said gimme some, gimme, gimme some time
She said I know that you love me
And I know that you think I'm fine
But don't you treat me like a jewel
You left in your quarry mine
Honey, treat me like a lover
He said, hey babe, watcha doin' tonight
Make away, slip way, till the morning and
Can I take you on the fly
Go for it honey, run from the money
She said give me some time, gimme some time
She said gimme some, gimme, gimme some time
He said I know that you love me
And I know that you do me right
But don't meet me at no crossroads
Rollin' no loaded dice
Honey, kiss me at the staton
Well they say, yeah they may, in a minute come
Say goodbye to what we had
Hey honey, baby, the world's gone crazy
He said, just gonna take time, take me some time
He said gimme some, this time, gimme some time
She said, I don't know the story (*1)
But I know we're losing time
So darlin', please lay down your worries
Let me help you ease your mind
Honey, kiss me in the moonlight
(*1) These are the lyrics printed with the album. But Donna actually sings:
She said, I don't know the story
But I know that I crossed a line
They come sneaking around the doorway
Preaching some shining lights
He said, you don't need to hurry
But I know that we're losing time
So darlin', please lay down your worries
Let me help you ease your mind
Honey, kiss me in the moonlight
