Time Is on My Side Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
Now you always say
That you want to be free
But you'll come running back (said you would baby)
You'll come running back (I said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me
[Verse 2]
Oh, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
You're searching for good times
But just wait and see
You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more)
You'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You'll come running back to me
[Bridge]
Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town
And baby, do everything your heart desires
Remember, I'll always be around
And I know, I know
Like I told you so many times before
You're going to come back, baby
Because I know
You're going to come back knocking
Yeah, knocking right on my door
Yes, yes!
Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
Now you always say
That you want to be free
But you'll come running back (said you would baby)
You'll come running back (I said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me
[Verse 2]
Oh, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
You're searching for good times
But just wait and see
You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more)
You'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You'll come running back to me
[Bridge]
Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town
And baby, do everything your heart desires
Remember, I'll always be around
And I know, I know
Like I told you so many times before
You're going to come back, baby
Because I know
You're going to come back knocking
Yeah, knocking right on my door
Yes, yes!
[Verse 3]
Well, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
'Cause I got the real love, the kind that you need
You'll come running back (said you would, baby)
You'll come running back (I'd always said you would)
You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more)
[Outro]
Yes time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
I said, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side
Yeah, time, time, time is on my side
Well, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
'Cause I got the real love, the kind that you need
You'll come running back (said you would, baby)
You'll come running back (I'd always said you would)
You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more)
[Outro]
Yes time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
I said, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side
Yeah, time, time, time is on my side
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
The most famous version of this song – though taking more from Irma Thomas cover than the original jazz instrumental with barely any lyrics, to the point Mick Jagger imitates the R&B singer’s spoken parts.
Two versions were issued, with the most famous being the second take. The first is easy to identify, given instead of a guitar intro, it starts with an organ.
