Only Time Can Tell

Paula Jefferson 1984

When I first met you
I didn’t think it would be like this,
It’s good to know we’ve been down since. Now we’re grown and maturer than back than. If you gave me that chance I can show you how I can.
Be loyal and respectable and do good by I want you for me. But only time can tell.
