Lyrics
Killin' time
Expressing a feeling of wasting time
You ain't got time for me
There's no time allocated for the speaker
So worried, you know
Feeling concerned or anxious
How do you think I feel?
Questioning the impact of actions on the speaker
I guess you just don't care
Perceiving a lack of concern or care
Something on your mind, what could it be?
Wondering about the preoccupation of the listener
Hey baby, I know it ain't me
Asserting that the issue isn't the speaker
Some see it, some don't
Recognition that some understand, while others don't
Yeah, I know you know
Acknowledgment that the listener is aware
Wait out the back door
Implying waiting for an opportunity
Show me something, time
Requesting a demonstration of something meaningful
Wait out the back door
Repeated emphasis on waiting for an opening
Please don't ever ever get up for me anymore
Asking the listener to not make an effort for the speaker
Ooh, t'aint no ray of sunshine
Highlighting the absence of positivity or brightness
Glory bound, get your hands up now
Encouragement to engage and participate in something transformative and uplifting
Gettin' glory bound, get your hands up now
-We're gettin' glory bound, get your hands up now
-Something you do, yeah, something you do, yeah, do it
-Glory bound, get your hands up now
-Ain't no foolin', ain't no foolin',come on around
-Ain't no foolin', ain't no foolin',come on around
-Get your hands up now, sing it
-Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Expressing excitement or enthusiasm
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
-Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
-Yeah!
-Never in the doors, anymore
Reflection on past feelings of despair or darkness
Never in the mirror anyway
-Never gonna burn away
-Remember when you cling to tears
-Even if it falls on you
-Baby just your mind, it's true
-And you're never far from hope
-Oh, ain't no ray of sunshine
-Glory bound, get your hands up now
Repetition of the encouragement to participate and engage in a transformative experience
Gettin' glory bound, get your hands up now
-We're gettin' glory bound, get your hands up now
-Something you do, yeah, something you do, yeah, do it
-Glory bound, get your hands up now
-Ain't no foolin', ain't no foolin',come on around
-Ain't no foolin', ain't no foolin',come on around
-Get your hands up now, sing it
-Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Continued emphasis on participating and being uplifted
Gettin' glory bound, get your hands up now
-Gettin' glory bound, get your hands up now
-Glory bound, get your hands up now (get your hands up now)
-Sing it for me
Encouraging vocal participation in the experience
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Please, stand by, I don't know
Requesting support and assurance
Please stand, please stand
-Hold me me close, at the waters
-And everything goes
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
-Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
