It's a rare occasion When your plans and expectations Come down just exactly how you planned them Hey, life's just that way You better face the facts, sweet lady Things change from day to day It all depends upon the situation Who can say, any way? Time will tell Oh, and we'll both know so very well Time will tell So just be patient Until you reach the realization You can't have joy without a little sadness, too That's just the way it is, hey And girl, I believe we're gonna make it But not without our share of ups and downs You can't expect life to be a total paradise But if we just pray together, girl, it will be so nice Time will tell Oh, and then we'll both know so very well Time will tell, oh, baby Oh, oh, girl Take a little time out And I'm sure that you will see, ah You just keep on holdin' on, oh, love You gon' be able to make it with me Hey, oh, oh, baby I need you, I want you, girl I've got to have you, ah Give me your time, just wait on me Oh, girl, there's no tellin' how happy we gon' be
