[Verse 1]

A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line

It ain't rained and all the crops are dying on the vine

Give me more time, you gotta give me more time

[Verse 2]

That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years

We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and, tears

Give me more time. I need more time

Oh, what would he give for a little more time?

[Verse 3]

Two lovers at a table, candlelight and wine

One's looking for an answer the other one can't find

Give me more time, you gotta give me more time

[Verse 4]

She says you know I love you, but my heart's in a bind

Afraid you're gonna leave me if I don't make up my mind

Give me more time, I gotta have more time

[Bridge]

Some have barely any, some too much on their hands

Some would give anything to have it back again

[Verse 5]

The patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors

You're kidding me, how could this be? I'm only twenty-four

Give me more time, you gotta give me more time

Give me more time
