Lyrics

"The complete Chess studio recordings" = The official version:

It's your time now baby
Ohh but it's gonna be mine after awhile
I said it's your time right now baby
Lord but it's gonna be mine after awhile
You know you know if things don't change
I'm gonna move on down

She stayed out last night
And do you know she just walked in
The girl is gettin' ready
She's going back out again
I said just wait one minute
Just before you go
She didn't even look at me
She just turned and walked out the door

It's your time, it's your time, it's your time right now
Ohh, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta feelin'
Ohh it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be my time after awhile

I got a look through my window
And guess what I seen
My baby sat with another man
In a long black limosine

I said it's your time, it's your time
Yes you know I, you know I got that feelin' woman
Baby it's gonna be my time after awhile

I just wanna talk to my baby:
And here's what I wanna say
Go ahead on and mistreat me
But every every dog got his day wow

Somebody better come here and get me baby
I just want to talk to my baby

Lyrics

"The complete Chess studio recordings" alternate version:

Put yourself in the mood now
The bitch just left you
She has walked out the door with another man
And you don't worked hard
She took half of your money with her
And you still love her
'Cause she's got everything
    She took it all Billy
And you can't help it
   She took it all

It's your time now baby
But ohh I got a feeling it's gonna be my time after awhile
I said it's your time now baby
But ohhh I gotta feeling it's gonna be my time after awhile
You know you know if things don't change
Ohhh I gotta move on down the line

She stayed out last night
And do you know she just walked in
That girl is gettin' ready
She's going back out again
I said wait a minute baby
Just before you go
She didn't even look at me
She just walked right out the door

It's your time right now baby
But ohhh I gotta feeling it's gonna be my time after awhile
You know you know if things don't change
Ohhh I gotta move on down the line

I took a peak through my window
And what do you think I've seen
My baby sat beside another man
In a long black limosine

It's your time right now baby
Ohh I got that feelin' I got that feelin' it's gonna be my time after awhile
You know you know if things don't change
Ohhh I gotta move on down the line

Ohh I just wanna talk to my baby
And here's what I wanna say
Go ahead and mistreat me baby
But every every dog got his day

I just I said I wanna talk to my baby
I just gotta talk to my baby
I just wanna talk to my baby
Heee I gotta talk to my baby

Lyrics

"Hold that plane!" version:

It's your time right now
But ohhh I got a feelin' it's gonna be my time after awhile
I said it's your time right now
But ohhh I gotta feelin' this might be my time after awhile
And you know you know if things don't change
Lord I do believe I gotta move on down the line

She stayed out last night
And do you know she just walked in
But the little girl is gettin' ready
She's going back out again
I said just wait one minute baby
Just before you go
She didn't even look at me baby you know
She act like a fool and walked right out that door

It's your time now
Lord, Lord I gotta feeling it's my time after awhile
You know you know if it don't change
Lord I do believe I gotta move on down the line

I took a peak through my window
And what do you think I've seen
My baby sat beside another man
In a long black limosine

I said it's your time, it's your time woman
Lord but I got a feelin' this just might be my time after awhile
You know you know if the things don't change
Lord I gotta move on down the line

I just wanna talk
I wanna tell you about myself
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhhhhh
Lord have mercy
Somebody, somebody somewhere
Somebody, somebody somewhere

"Live the real deal" version:

It's your time right now baby
Ohh, I got a feeling it's gonna be my time after awhile
I said it's your time right now baby
Little girl I do believe it's gonna be my time after awhile
You know you know if things don't change
Little girl I do believe I gonna move on down the line

She stayed out last night
And do you know she just walked in
Ohh, but the little girl is gettin' ready

Just before you go
She didn't even look at me people
She just turned and she just walked right out the door

Lord Lord it's gonna me my time after awhile
You know you know if things don't change for me woman
Little girl I do believe I better move on down the line

I took a peak through my window
And what do you think I've seen
My baby sat beside another man
In a long stretch limosine

Girl I know it's gonna be time after awhile
You know you know if things don't change now woman
Little girl I do believe I better move on down the line
