Only Time Will Tell Me Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Only time will tell me if I′m right or wrong
Or if I'm going somewhere where I don′t belong
I've been standing on the corner
Trying to get across the street
For so many years, y'all I′ve been looking down at my feet
But now, I′m gonna move, I'm gonna move

Stand up, try my wings and fly away
And if I ever pass this way again
It will be just another ordinary day

I used to think a woman was just made to love a man
But a man is something you have to try to hold on to if you can
One day, my man walked out
Oh, he left me with rules
I′ve been living through him for so long, I had nothing of my own to lose
But now, I'm gonna move, I′m gonna move

Stand up, try my wings and be just who I am
And if I ever pass this way again
I'll be ready for a real man


Oh, everybody want some power
In this land of liberty
But having lots of power won′t necessarily make you free
It'll make you think there's somebody there to knack
Someday, you might have to give up every little thing you got

So, if you wanna move, if you wanna move
Get up, and find your own way out the door
If you ever pass this way again
You will know you′ve been through it all before

If you wanna move, if you wanna move
Stand up, try your wings and fly now out the door
If you ever pass this way again
You will know you′ve been through it all before

I think you ought to move
I think you ought to move
Move
Move
Stand up, and move
Stand up, and move
