Time Will Tell Lyrics

[Intro]
Dolla $ign
(Wheezy Beats)

[Chorus]
This the end, oh yeah, tell me, is this our farewell? (Ooh, yeah)
Can we get it back? They tell me, "Only time will tell"
We can't let it go, this shit don't feel natural
Can we get it back? Baby, only time will tell

[Verse 1]
That's a fact, knowing you ain't right
Crossin' all these lines, makin' Xs when you mine
Fuck all that (Fuck all that), girl, that ain't no good
Blowin' my shit like 'Woods, look, let's get this understood
Bae, you're mine, 'member all them times?
Hit it, then rewind, bend your back, punchin' your spine
Every night, spread your lips in two (Two)
Toot that ass up with a view, now you're actin' brand new

[Pre-Chorus]
My lil' baby, lil' baby left me lonely
Said she moving, said she moving on from me
She can never, she can never get over me
But if this what you want from me (Ooh, yeah)
[Chorus]
This the end, oh yeah, tell me, is this our farewell? (Ooh, yeah)
Can we get it back, they tell me, "Only time will tell"
We can't let it go, this shit don't feel natural, ayy
Can we get it back? Baby, only time will tell

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, only time will tell
Oh, only time will tell (Tell)
Said you done with that, don't know how we got off track (Track)
Can we get it back? Baby, only time will tell

[Verse 2]
Sudden change, why the sudden change, hmm?
Switch on me like lanes, now you tryna turn the page, ooh
How am I to blame? I did all these things
Had you wetter than the rain, make you scream my name
Bust it like a Draco, damn, that pussy fuego
We go back like retro, build it like a LEGO
Girl, no, I can't let go, stuck on you like Velcro
This shit ain't the same, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
My lil' baby, lil' baby left me lonely (Lonely)
Said she moving, said she moving on from me (From me)
She can never, she can never get over me
But if this what you want from me (No)
[Chorus]
This the end, oh yeah, tell me, is this our farewell?
Can we get it back? They tell me, "Only time will tell" (Yeah)
We can't let it go (Yeah), this shit don't feel natural, ayy
Can we get it back? Baby, only time will tell (Yeah-yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, only time will tell
Oh, only time will tell (Ooh)
Said you done with that, don't know how we got off track (Ooh)
Can we get it back? Baby, only time will tell (Yeah)

[Outro]
(Baby, only time will tell)
I just wanna know
(Baby, only time will tell)
Dolla $ign
(Baby, only—)
(Wheezy outta here)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
