No Time For Tears
Embracing Joyful Beginnings: No Time for Tears by Marvin Gaye
Lyrics
I've got no time, no time for tears
I am not willing to spend time crying or being sad.
Though you walked out on me, oh yes, you did now
Even though you left me, I accept that my life must move forward.
My life must go, you see
My life must continue despite the end of our relationship.
Girl, though our love has ended
Although our love is over, I will find someone else to connect with.
I'll find another to be friends with
I will seek new friendships and relationships.
Said I'm just gonna pick up the pieces
I am determined to gather the fragments of my life.
And start my life all over again
I will restart my life from the beginning.
'Cause I know cryin' won't bring you back, my love
Crying won't bring you back, so I won't indulge in it.
I know a word about you, baby, won't bring you back, my love
Talking or thinking about you won't bring you back either.
Like the wise, I realize, ooh, what's done is done
Similar to the wise, I acknowledge that what's done is irreversible.
Why should I cry each day? (Why should I cry?)
Why should I cry when our love was not reciprocated?
When you didn't love me anyway
Your lack of love for me makes crying unnecessary.
I've got no time, no time, no time for tears
I have no time to be sad or shed tears.
Life holds too many joys, oh yes it does
Life has too many positive experiences to focus on.
To worry 'bout an unfaithful, unfaithful girl
I won't worry about an unfaithful girl and will move on.
Just like I loved you, oh, there's other girls lovable too
Just like I loved you, there are other lovable girls.
So I'm just gonna pick up the pieces
I will gather the broken pieces of my life.
And start life all over again
I am determined to start my life anew.
Said I've got no time, no time for tears
I have no time to spend on tears.
Cryin' won't help me, baby
Crying won't be beneficial in bringing you back.
Won't bring you back
Crying won't reverse the situation or resurrect the past.
No time for tears
There is no time to waste on tears.
Girl, though our love has ended
Despite the end of our love, I will find new connections.
Girl, I'll find another to be friends with
I will seek new friendships and relationships.
Said I'm gonna pick up the pieces
I am determined to gather the fragments of my life.
And start my life all over again
I will restart my life from the beginning.
I've got no time, no time, no time for tears
I have no time to be consumed by tears.
