A Little More Time With You lyrics
by James Taylor

Oh oh, oh oh oh.

Got a watchdog watchin' me, Doggy.

Watchin' me packin' my bags.

He knows I'm leavin' town.

I can see that it's a drag.

Why leave the life I love?

Here in the great state of Maine.

Just to ride that shinin' rail.

Just aside that ball and chain.



(Chorus):

Oh I, gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

That's right.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, my Babe.

Oh oh oh.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Yes I do, yes I do.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Oh oh, oh oh oh.



Passed on the cocaine.

Said bye-bye to my Methadone.

Put down the bottle for one more day.

Backin' offa my tobacco Jones.

Still I'm feelin' like a hopeless junkie.

Like a man that can't say no.

I look back, and there's that monkey.

Rascal won't let go



(Chorus)

Oh I, gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Yes I do, yes I do.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, my Babe.

Oh oh oh.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Yes I do now, yes I do now, yes I do.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Oh oh, oh oh oh.



I get high, and I can't calm down

I get high, just hangin' around

I get high, I go lost and found

I get high, oh why.



(Chorus)

Oh I, gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

I'll be walkin' in the lights.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, my Babe.

Oh oh oh.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Gimme just a little more time, just a little more time.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Oh oh, oh oh oh.

Coda.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Yeah, na na,

Yeah, na na na na na, na na na na na na na yeah.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, my Babe.

Oh oh oh.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Yes I do, yes I do.

Gotta spend, a little more time with you, Babe.

Oh oh, oh oh oh, yeah, Babe.
