Lyrics
No Time
(Jackson, Mingori )
Verse 1
I?m home alone again
I come home after school
Sometimes I feel like I live alone
Later you walk in
Turn on the television
Or spend an hour on the phone
You sit in front of me
But I just wanna be
The one who gets your attention
But you?re busy
Always busy talking
Ignoring my frustration
Lift 1
You?ve got your friends
And work is so important
I really hate the way you let me down
Chorus
If I?m not right
Then it?s your crime
You never give me any time
I do my best
But you never give me time
No Time
Verse 2
I joined the soccer team
Tryin to fit in
Got kicked off for detention
But I don?t really care
?Cause you?d never see me play anyway
Lift 2
Your idea of fun
Is cocktails on the weekend
I really never wanna grow up to be you
Chorus
If I?m not right
Then it?s your crime
You never give me any time
I do my best
But you never give me time
No Time
Bridge
Maybe I?m crazy
But the stuff you buy doesn?t make me happy
I wanna wake up
And feel O.K.
Instead I wanna run away
Chorus
If I?m not right
Then it?s your crime
You never give me any time
I do my best
But you never give me time
No Time
No matter what I say or do
It?s never good enough for you
I do my best
But you never give me time
No time
