It's about time, it's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime, even told you what to say
It's about time, it's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime, even told you what to say

Oh, I never had the nerve to approach you, baby
'Cause I didn't think that you would ever look at me that way
I known you for so long, I seen all your lovers come and go
I know exactly how to please you, but I'm afraid that you'll say no

It's about time, it's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime, even told you what to say
It's about time, it's about time that you start looking my way

It's about time, it's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime, even told you what to say
It's about time, it's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime, even told you what to say

You told me 'bout the nights that you spent with her down by the lake
I want to tell you stop how much more could my poor heart take
I start burning up inside, how long so for you just to feel
Your sweet caress all I ever wanted to do

It's about time, it's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime, even told you what to say
It's about time, it's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime, even told you what to say

I don't know why, I couldn't tell you that I care for you
And now I cry my tears of joy 'cause I let you know that it's about time

It's about time, it's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime, even told you what to say
