Give it time

There was a girl

Who waited all her life

To make a difference

She had to be heard

She packed her bags

And found herself a job

She was ready to take on the world

The men at work

Didn't have time for her

She could have ended so much better

Than who she was

Working for overtime

This wasn't what she had bargained for

So one day

She took the phone of the hook

She couldn't have been more

Misunderstood

She had the moves

And she had the looks

To kill a man

She was tired of sticking to the plan

Give it time

I'll show you what I mean

I'll be all of the things

You thought I couldn't be

Then in time

You'll see that I was right

I'm gonna bring it down tonight

She quit her job

To find a life beyond art

She wasn't going to be unheard of

She played guitar

She had to be a star

It didn't seem to work out at all

Yeah one day

She took the phone of the hook

She couldn't have been more

Misunderstood

She had the moves

And she had the looks

To kill a man

She was tired of sticking to the plan

Give it time

I'll show you what I mean

I'll be all of the things

You thought I couldn't be

Then in time

You'll see that I was right

I'm gonna bring it down tonight

I'm gonna bring it down tonight

Give it time

I'll show you what I mean

I'll be all of the things

You thought I couldn't be

Then in time

You'll see that I was right

I'm gonna bring it down tonight

Give it time

I'll show you what I mean

I'll be all of the things

You thought I couldn't be

Then in time

You'll see that I was right

I'm gonna bring it down tonight

I'm gonna bring it down tonight
