Oh, I'm like a beggar with no luck I'm holding signs up on your street corner stops Like most, you try not to see me Stare straight ahead, ignore the responsibility
Excuse me (Excuse me, mister) Well, I've been waiting in line And I'd like to buy some of your time I'm very anxious, eager, willing What's your billing? (Anxious, eager, willing)
So please excuse me, mister You've got things all wrong You make it feel like a crime So don't confuse me, mister I've known you too long All I need is a little of your time
Oh, for most, love comes for free They don't pay the high cost of mental custody I'll pay bail for a guarantee Make space for me in the time yet to be
Excuse me (Excuse me, mister) Well, I've been waiting in line And I'd like to buy some of your time I'd been saving up my life What's your price? (Saving up my life)
So please excuse me, mister You've got things all wrong You make it feel like a crime So don't confuse me, mister I've known you way too long now All I need is a little of your time
What should I do? I'm about to crack And there's a force that comes over me It's almost as if I'm tied to the tracks I'm waiting for him to rescue me
The funny thing is, he's not going to come He's not going to find me This is a matter of fact, the desire you lack This is the way I guess it has to be
A little of your time I need a little of your time Please, a little of your time, yeah
