                        Gm
I've got to get to you first
             F
Before they do
                        Gm
It's just a question of time
                       F
Before they lay their hands on you
                           Cm
And make you just like the rest
                        G#  D#
I've got to get to you first
                         Gm F Gm F
It's just a question of time

                        Gm
Well now you're only fifteen
              F
And you look good
                       Gm
I'll take you under my wing
     F
Somebody should
                   Cm
They've persuasive ways
                             G#  D#
And you'll believe what they say
                        Cm
It's just a question of time
     G#
It's running out for you
   Fm
It won't be long
  Gm
Until you'll do
 G#               A#
Exactly what they want you to

I can see them now
Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one

Chorus:
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to

Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds

[Outro]
It's just a question of time
It's just a question of time
It's just a question of time
(It should be better)
It's just a question of time
(It should be better with you)
It's just a question of time
(It should be better)
It's just a question of time
(It should be better with you)
It's just a question of time
(It should be better)
It's just a question of time
(It should be better with you)
It's just a question of time
