lyrics

Write a book by three o’ clock
Be an astronaut by five
There’s no time to take your panties off
It’s okay, I’ll just push them to the side

Build a house by three o’ four
Be president by six
There’s no time to feed the poor
I’ve got problems of my own to fix

And I’ll beat cancer by a quarter to two
Be a millionaire by nine
There’s no time to dance with you
I’ve got things to do, things on my mind

(Chorus)
There’s no time
There’s no time
There’s no time to do
All the things I need to do
Let alone choose you
Bitch, please
I’ve got priorities

Sketch a draft by seven forty five
Paint my masterpiece by eight
There’s no time to make the moment last
The feeling’s gone, you’ll just have to wait

Sail the world by ten twenty three
Make history by one o’ nine
So you see, there’s no time
For a girl to be on my mind

(Chorus)

Not today
He’s go priorities
Not next week
He’s got priorities
Not next month
He’s got priorities
Not with you,
I’ve got priorities

(Chorus)
