You were so cruel and I hated being your fool
So I got a little bit more mud on my face
But the years will bring a bigger scheme of things
And make a pretty memory out of my disgrace
I don't believe there is such a thing as saying too much, oh no
There are those who like to look and those who ain't afraid to touch

Oh baby, don't you know that
Time will do the talking, years will do the walking
I'll just find a comfy spot and wait it out
Oh the time will do the talking, years will do the walking
Time will tell you baby what you can't hear now

Well we dig our heels in and wonder who's gonna win this
Who is gonna win it or wear it out
I changed the locks on my door, I learned how to take a little more
I can outrun all of the devils here but never the doubts
Try not to throw all your money into 20/20 vision, oh no
For the world won't wait on politics or indecision

Oh baby don't you know that
Time will do the talking, years will do the walking
I'll just find a comfy spot and wait it out
Yes and time will do the talking, years will do the walking
Time will tell you baby what you can't hear now

Can you hear the voice inside you?
Yea, it calls you back to where you belong, oh no
Can you see those one beside you there?
Who've been standin' there all along

Baby, well you were so cruel, I hated being your fool
So I got a little bit more mud on my face
But the years will bring bigger scheme of things
Make a pretty memory out of my disgrace

Oh the time will do the talking, years will do the walking
I'll just find a comfy spot and wait it out, yes I will now
Time will do the talking, years will do the walking
Time will tell you baby what you can't hear now
Oh the time will tell you baby what you can't hear now
Oh the time will tell you baby what you can't hear now
