It's about time
   We stopped foolin' around
   'Cause I can't go on loving like this
   It's about time
   You got closer to me
   It's alright for a while
   But we're more than a mile apart
  
   Are we just playing at lovers
   Doing the right thing to do
   I'm always running for cover
   When I ought to be running to you
   Sometimes you're more like a stranger
   And baby I think I've lost you
   Feels like I'm heading for danger
   When I ought to be heading for you
  
   It's about time
   We stopped foolin' around
   'Cause I can't go on loving like this
  
   Are we just playing at lovers
   Doing the right thing to do
   I'm always running for cover
   When I ought to be running to you
   Sometimes you're more like a stranger
   And baby I think I've lost you
   Feels like I'm heading for danger
   When I ought to be heading for you

   It's about time
   You got closer to me
   It's alright for a while
   But we're more than a mile apart
  
   Stop foolin' around
   Get closer to me
   I'm always running for cover
   What you're doing to me
   It's about time
   More than a stranger
   It's alright for a while
   But we're more than a mile apart
