Looking For The Time Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Now, I work this corner from eleven to five 

And the hands get cold around midnight 

And you askin' me if I've got the time 

Well, I don't know but you're wastin' mine tonight 

Whoa, you say you're looking for the time 

Hey, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine 

And if you ain't got money, take it down the avenue 

'Cause I ain't got the time for you, until daylight 

At the sidewalk ice is cold as steel 

And I'm not Dorothy I can't click my heels 

And one of these days I'll move to L.A. 

Where the nights stay warm and the boys come out to play 

Whoa, you say you're looking for the time 

Hey, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine 

And if you ain't got money, take it down the avenue 

'Cause I ain't got the time for you, until daylight 

Don't the snow light up the midnight sky 

The snow plows roll and the limos fly 

Don't cha know it's just another night 

Oh, once I had a lover who treated me right 

And he lived so wrong, he's doin' ninety-nine 

And I wish you had the money, and I had the time 

I'd just let those limos slide on by 

Whoa, you say you're looking for the time 

Hey, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine 

And if you ain't got money, take it down the avenue 

'Cause I ain't got the time for you 

And it's whoa, you say you're looking for the time 

Hey, I'm a workin' girl, you just wasted mine 

And if you ain't got money, take it down the avenue 

'Cause I ain't got the time for you, until daylight 

You come around the daylight, until daylight 

You come around the daylight, until daylight
