No one likes to lose, folks wanna take the prize
So we seek an edge to cut our rivals down to size
But if nobody struck out, the game would never end and
Losing likely leaves you with more free time to spend and

Time, that stuff is precious-- it won't go out of style
Spending it on someone can reward you with a smile and
Smiles, they're next to laughter and laughter is the best
The more time we spend laughing, the less we are depressed

Time isn't money-- money isn't time
Money in the bank will never buy you back your prime, so
Spend that stuff wisely on what will really count
You only get so much put aside in your account

I had a friend who felt the world was always weighing down
Responsibility, he thought, had robbed him of his crown and
Often he'd kick up a fuss long after it made sense, it's
Hard to be around someone who's always so intense, and

One day he felt he had enough and so he quit, quit it
All, quit his job, his wife, every little bit
Then he got his time back, but that didn't get it done, because
Time alone can't teach you how to love and have fun

Time isn't money-- money isn't time
Money in the bank will never buy you back your prime, so
Spend that stuff wisely on what will really count
You only get so much put aside in your account

You hear it happen to somebody almost every day
Some sudden misfortune comes and takes it all away, and those
Bills will linger long after he's been laid to rest
Often, time's timing isn't quite the best, so

Suck them seconds dry, mark each passing day
Someday, Old Man Time will come and take it all away, yeah
he'lltake it and he'll give it off to some other fool, who will
Squander it and wander 'round, tryin' to look cool--
just like we do

Time isn't money-- money isn't time
Money in the bank will never buy you back your prime, so
Spend that stuff wisely on what will really count
You only get so much put aside in your account
