Nick Of Time Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 A friend of mine, she cries at night

2 And she calls me on the phone

3 Sees babies everywhere she goes

4 And she wants one of her own

5 She's waited long enough she says

6 And still he can't decide

7 Pretty soon she'll have to choose

8 And it tears her up inside

9 She is scared,

10 Scared to run out of time

11 I see my folks are getting on

12 And I watch their bodies change

13 I know they see the same in me

14 And it makes us both feel strange

15 No matter how you tell yourself

16 It's what we all go through

17 Those lines are pretty hard to take

18 When they're staring back at you

19 Oh Oh Oh, scared you'll run out of time

20 When did the choices get so hard

21 With so much more at stake

22 Life gets mighty precious

23 When there's less of it to waste

24 Mmm-m-m-m-m-m

25 Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time

26 Just when I thought I'd had enough

27 And all my tears were shed

28 No promise left unbroken

29 There were no painful words unsaid

30 You came along and showed me

31 I could leave it all behind

32 You opened up my heart again

33 And then much to my surprise

34 I found love, baby, love in the nick of time

35 (Love in the nick of time)

36 I found love darlin', love in the nick of time

37 (Love in the nick of time)

38 I found love baby, love in the nick of time

39 Ooooooo-ooo-ooo-whoo-ooo

40 Yeah baby

41 Uhhhhh-huh-uh

42 Found love...

43 In the nick of time...

44 Thought I'd given up...

45 Given up baby...

46 Oh ooo wo ooo wo...
