After All These Years Lyrics - Time Takes Time - Ringo Starr

By Richard Starkey and Johnny Warman 

WE DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO THINK THINGS OVER, 

WE HAD A LOT OF FUN, WE HAD SOME TEARS. 

STEPPING OUT OF LONELINESS, 

NOW THE ROAD DON'T SEEM SO LONG, 

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. 

ROCK AND ROLL HAS GOT A REPUTATION, 

BAD BOYS CAUSE A LOT OF FEAR. 

BUT I NEVER MEANT TO REALLY HURT YOU, OH NO, NO, 

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

IT'S IN MY BLOOD, IT'S IN MY BLOOD. 

OOH, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK HOME. 

DANCING WITH YOUR SISTER ON A SATURDAY NIGHT, 

IT'S UNDERSTOOD, IT'S UNDERSTOOD. 

WHEN EV'RY BOY AND GIRL, 

OOH, WAS ROCKING ALL OVER THE WORLD. 

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
