Songtext von It's About Time

I'm gonna get my act together I'm gonna start to take some care I'm gonna give up the smoking Give up the booze I'm gonna wash my clothes And wash my hair I'm gonna start getting up in the morning Instead of when it's getting dark I'm getting tired of abusing my body I'm gonna get some fresh air Talk a walk in the park, because It's about time, it's about time I took a grip on my life It's about time, it's about time I'm on the edge of a knife I don't wanna cut myself I've had enough of the drugs and the women I've had enough of being mobbed in the street I've had enough of this constant high living I've had enough of having nothing to eat Well my mother says "Boy, what you doing? Don't hink it's time you settled down? You oughta sell that guitar Buy yourself a car Get a job in a nice big town" It's about time, it's about time I took a grip on my life It's about time, it's about time I'm on the edge of a knife I don't wanna cut myself Well sometimes I wonder If it's all worthwile I wonder why I do it 'Til I see you smile I've had all the education Had it up to my eyes Now everybody that laughed Is gonna get a surprise It's about time, it's about time I took a grip on my life It's about time, it's about time I'm on the edge of a knife I don't wanna cut myself
