Time Is On My Side
Embracing Destiny: Love's Triumph Over Time
Lyrics
Time is on my side, yes it is
Expresses confidence that time is in favor.
Time oh, is on my side, yes it is
Reiterates the assertion that time is on the speaker's side.
And you always say
Acknowledges a consistent statement from the other person.
That you want to be free
Acknowledges the desire for freedom from the other person.
But you'll come running back (I just hope you would baby)
Anticipates the other person returning despite wanting freedom.
You'll come running back (no, you won't have to cry no more)
Reassures that there won't be sorrow when they return.
You'll come running back to me
Confidently predicts the other person returning.
Time is on my side, yes it is
Repeats the idea that time is on the speaker's side.
Time is on my side, yes it is
Emphasizes the advantageous nature of time.
You're searching for good times
Notes the other person seeking good times.
But just wait and see
Advises patience, suggesting the other person will return.
You'll come running back (oh one of these days now baby)
Foresees the other person returning one day.
You'll come running back (won't have to cry no more)
Assures that there won't be a need for tears upon return.
You'll come running back to me
Reiterates the prediction of the other person's return.
Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town

And baby, do everything, everything your heart desires
Promotes fulfilling desires and dreams.
Just remember, I'll always be around
Declares the speaker's constant availability.
And I know, I know
Asserts confidence in the prediction.
Like I told you so many times before
Recalls previous warnings about the inevitable return.
Yes you're gonna come back knocking, knocking on my door
Foretells the other person knocking on the speaker's door.
Time is on my side, yes it is
Reaffirms that time is in favor.
Time is on my side, yes it is
Restates the temporal advantage.
'Cause I got the real love
Boasts possessing genuine, needed love.
The kind that you need
Highlights the type of love the speaker offers.
You'll come running back (oh that's right, I'm yours, baby)
Predicts the other person returning, affirming ownership.
You'll come running back (oh one of these days now baby)
Repeats the anticipation of the other person's return.
You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more)
Ensures a worry-free return for the other person.
To me ('cause all of my trouble, my trouble is really over)
Declares the speaker's troubles are resolved.
Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Reiterates the favorable nature of time.
Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Repeats the idea that time is on the speaker's side.
Time, time, time oh is on my side, yes it is
