Lyrics

Ah-ha-ha
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Ooh, listen to me
Now, I ain't got time to think about money
(I ain't got time)
Or what it can buy
And I ain't got time to sit and wonder
(I ain't got time)
What makes the birds fly
And I don't have time to think about
(I ain't got time)
What makes the flowers grow
(What makes the flowers grow)
And I never give it a second thought
To where the rivers flow
Too busy thinking about my baby
Whoa, I ain't got time for nothin' else
You know, too busy thinking about my baby
Whoa, I ain't got time for nothin' else
Oh, no
I ain't got time to discuss the weather
How long it's gonna last
I ain't got time to do no studying
Once I get out of class
Well, people tell ya
I'm just a fella, I got a one track mind
(I'm just a, he's just a fella with a)
And when it comes to thinking about
Anything but my baby
I just don't have the time
Too busy thinking about my baby
Ah, no, no, I ain't got time for nothin' else
Don't you know I'm too busy thinking about my baby
Oh, no, no, I ain't got time for nothin' else
Whoa-oh, you know, all the diamonds and pearls in the world
Could never match her worth
And she's some kind of wonderful, people tell you
I got heaven right here on earth
I'm just a fella with a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about
Anything but my baby
I just don't have the time
Too busy thinking about my baby
Ah, no, whoa, I ain't got time for nothin' else
Don't you know, I'm too busy thinking about my baby
Oh, no, no, I ain't got time for nothin' else
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
You know I'm
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
Too busy thinking, aint got time
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
Ain't got time, always on my mind
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
'Cause I'm
Too busy thinking about my baby
Whoa, you know I ain't got time for nothin' else
Don't you know, I'm too busy thinking about my baby
Whoa, you know I ain't got time for nothin' else
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
Some kind of wonderful, always on my mind
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
She's some kind-a wonderful
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
Too busy thinking
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
Too busy thinking of, ain't got time
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
(He ain't got time)
No, ain't got time
(He ain't got time)
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
Ain't got time for nothin' else
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
Always on my mind, some kind of wonderful
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
Some kind of wonderful
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
Thinking about my, my baby, ain't got time
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
Ain't got time, ain't got, no
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
She's some kind of wonderful
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
Some kind of wonderful
(Too busy thinking about my baby)
(Ain't got no time for nothin' else, no more)
