I talked to gramma just the other day She said girlchild time you get things straight And with the time, get with the time Do what you want girl, and do it all the time She said when I was a girl no one cared, they just thought me crazy When my opinions shared time with their minds, so unkind The way they pushed me down, pushed me around And made me sorry, that I had a mouth Get with the time, girlchild don't expect him to see What a beautiful woman should be It's your time girlchild, if he don't like it there's one right behind... She said girlchild don't be afraid to Come forward and let your voice be heard Don't let nobody make you so scared You can't get to where you're going, where are you going... Get with the time, girlchild don't expect them to see What a beautiful woman should be It's your time girlchild, if he don't like it there's one right behind... Grandmother, mother, child, sister and wife Do you want me, I'm much more than a body To be looked at by your ugly expression Of what a beautiful woman should be Grandmother, mother, child, my sisters and wives Make it hot, so hot that they scream it, what a beautiful woman should be!! It's your time girlchild, if he don't like it I got some friends in mind Cause you know, when it's time to go, get with, get with the time Grandmother, mother, child, sister and wife Love is in everything that you say And everything that you do Get with the time, it's coming back to you Back to you...
