I wanna be cool and always say it right
I wanna hold you through the longest, loneliest of nights
I want the crickets to chirp all the words
I want to fly higher than the highest flying bird

I need time to get it right
time to get it right
time to get it right
time to get it right this time

I wanna write poems and say them loud in bed
I wanna have crazy good ideas in my head
I wanna stare sweetly at the heavens above
I wanna dig through your cracker jack box of love

Where's my prize?
prize
Time to get it right
time to get it right this time

I wanna be new, I wanna be fresh
I wanna be lush and dreamish
I want to have girl falling down on my floor
Well, I don’t want to have to tell them "yes" anymore

I got time to get it right
time to get it right
time to get it right
Time to get it right this time
