I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
It's just a question of time

Well, now you're only fifteen (woo)
Oh you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Oh, somebody should
They've persuasive ways
And you'll believe what they say
Sing it!

(Oh, it's just a question of time)
(And it's running out for you)
(It won't be long until you'll do)
(Exactly what they want you to)
No!

Oh I can see them now
They're hanging around, oh!
To mess you up (woo)
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one
Sing it!

(It's just a question of time)
(And it's running out for you)
(It won't be long until you'll do)
(Exactly what they want you to)
(It won't be long until you'll do)
(Exactly what they want you to)
No!

Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good, ay
They need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in their minds
Sing it!

(It's just a question of time) woo
It's just a question of time
It's just a question of time (it should be better)
It's just a question of time (it should be better with you)
It's just a question of time (it should be better)
It's just a question of time, alright! (it should be better with you)
Come on, let me see those hands!
(It should be better)
(It should be better with you)

Thank you
