Lyrics
Where, oh, where is the girl that I found?
Seeking the whereabouts of a previously admired girl
She was the best, the sweetest thing in this broken-down town
Expressing admiration for her in a troubled area
Where can this girl be now?
Continuing the search for her current location
She used to make me feel like God when she'd go it on down
Remembering how she made the speaker feel powerful
But now she got no time to play with me
She's unavailable/busy, lacking time for interaction; speaker feels disconnected
Got no time to shake it with me
-Got no time to make it with me
-Got no feeling on my body
-But I know what you want me to do
Aware of expectations but struggling with compromise
You know what you want me to do
-Compromise the struggle with you
-Compromise, but
-I ain't got time for this
Feeling too pressed for time, unable to engage
When there ain't no time, no time, no time for this
-Where is the girl that I found?
Reflecting on her past supportive role, aiding in difficult situations
She used to help me dig up dirt in my graveyard town
-Making love was the only sound
Highlighting the memory of intimacy as a prominent sound in their relationship
That I remember you could hear for miles around
-But now she got no time to play with me
Reiterating her unavailability, causing a lack of physical and emotional connection
Got no time to shake it with me
-Got no time to make it with me
-Got me feeling on my body
-But I know what you want me to do
Understanding the desired actions but struggling to align due to constraints
You know what you want me to do
-Compromise the struggle with you
-Compromise, but
-I ain't got time for this
Reiterating the lack of time and capacity for the situation
When there ain't no time, no time, no time for this
-Where is the girl that I found?
Remembering her instrumental role in building something important
She really helped me build this house from the dirt on the ground
-But now she got no time to play with me
Reiterating her unavailability and its impact on physical and emotional connections
Got no time to shake it with me
-Got no time to make it with me
-Got no feeling on my body
-But I know what you want me to do
Recognizing the expectation to compromise but struggling due to limitations
You know what you want me to do
-Compromise the struggle with you
-Compromise, but
-I ain't got time for this
Re-emphasizing the lack of time available
And there ain't no time, no time, no time for this
-Where has my baby disappeared to?
Continuing the search for the missing presence of the beloved
Where has my baby gone now?
-Where has my baby disappeared to?
-Where has my baby gone now?
