作词 : McElhane, Spiteri Written:Mcelhone/Spiteri/Campbell/Hodgens refrain I: I tried to tell you that on Monday The day before I went away I was always there when you were coming down I had to take some time Take some time You know I'm needing you for so much pleasure I'm always wanting you to take me there And how some time alone is only fair refrain II: You know I'm renowned And feel it's a lonely time I had But it never felt that bad refrain I You never took the time Took the time I wish you'd known me when I was much younger As I closed my eyes upon the world But now an open mind which seems much stronger A perfect doubting of your every word refrain II refrain I You never took the time Took the time C'mon c'mon refrain II refrain I You never took the time Took the time refrain I You never took the time Took the time Never took the time To stop me I always wanted you to stop me You never took the time
