Looking For The Time (Workin' Girl) - Nanci Griffith

Well, I work this corner from eleven to five

the hands get cold around midnight

You’re askin' me if I’ve got the time… well I don’t know

but you’re wastin' mine tonight

Whoa… you say you’re looking for the time

Well, I’m a workin' girl… you just wasted mine

If you ain’t got money… take it down the avenue

'cuz I ain’t got time for you… until daylight

This sidewalk ice is cold as steel…

I’m not Dorothy… I can’t click my heels

One of these days I’ll move to L.A.

where the nights stay warm and the boys come out to play

Whoa… you say you’re looking for the time

Well, I’m a workin' girl… you just wasted mine

If you ain’t got money… take it down the avenue

'cuz I ain’t got time for you… until daylight

Don’t the snow light up the midnight sky

The snow plows roll and the limos fly

Don’t cha know it’s just another night

Oh, once I had a lover who treated me right

he lived so wrong he’s doin' ninety-nine

Oh, I wish you had the money and I had the time

'Cuz I’d just let those limos slide on by Whoa… you say you’re looking for the time

Well, I’m a workin' girl… you just wasted mine

If you ain’t got money… take it down the avenue

'cuz I ain’t got time for you… until daylight

Whoa… you say you’re looking for the time

Well, I’m a workin' girl… you just wasted mine

If you ain’t got money… take it down the avenue

'cuz I ain’t got time for you… until daylight
