take a seat baby
just relax lady
this will all pass in time
close your eyes mama
don't even stop and wonder
this will all be over soon
I know times are rough
but lord knows you're tough
just play patient like you always do
this ain't the time to give up
this ain't the time to give up
and if it's loneliness
that gets you down like this
just hum that sweet melody
and this will be a mere memory
it won't be something you miss
I know the time it moves so slow
but you gotta know
you won't always be stuck in this mess
keep your chin up love
keep on lookin' up
'cos there's something around the bend
it seems impossible to feel anything at all
but I know you will be loved again
this ain't the time to give up
this ain't no time to give up
and if it's loneliness
that gets you down like this
just hum that sweet melody
and this will be a mere memory
it won't be something you miss
I know the time it moves so slow
but you gotta know
you won't always be stuck in this mess
