Verse 1:                   I ain’t got time to think about money or what it can buy. And I ain’t got time to sit down and wonder what makes a birdy fly.

Chorus 1:                  (Too busy thinkin’ ’bout my baby) And I ain’t got time for nothin’ else oh yeah now... Verse 2:                   I said uh I ain’t got time to dis-cuss the weather Or how long it’s gonna’ last. And uh I ain’t got time to do no studyin’ once I get out of class.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson exprime une obsession douce et sincère pour une personne aimée, au point que l'auteur ne s'intéresse à rien d'autre. Il rejette les préoccupations matérielles, les réflexions sur la nature ou d'autres pensées pour se concentrer uniquement sur son amour. L'idée forte est que cet amour est si précieux qu'il transcende tout, rendant tout le reste insignifiant. Le contexte de cette œuvre, sortie en 1969, fait partie d’une période où l’amour et les relations jouent un rôle central dans la musique soul. Cela reflète un état d'esprit où l'émotion et la connexion personnelle priment sur les tracas du quotidien. C'est une célébration de l'amour qui, devant l'intensité de ses sentiments, permet de se détacher des préoccupations habituelles de la vie.
