James Taylor - Little More Time With You Lyrics






Gotta watchdog watching me, doggy, watching me packing my bags.
He knows I'm leaving town, I can see that it's a drag.
Why leave the life I love here in the great state of Maine
just to ride that shining rail, just to size that ball and chain?

Oh, I gotta spend just a little more time with you, that's why.
Gotta spend just a little more time with you, oh oh oh.

I passed on the cocaine, said bye-bye to my methadone.
Put down the bottle for one more day, backing off of my tobacco jones.
Still feel like a hopeless junkie, like a man who can't say no.
I look back and there's that monkey, rascal won't let go, let me go.

Gotta spend just a little more time with you, that's right.
Gotta spend just a little more time with you, oh oh.
Gotta spend just a little more time with you, yes I do, yes I do, now.
Gotta spend just a little more time with you, oh oh oh.

I get high and I can't come down, I get high just hanging around.
I get high, I go lost and found, I get high oh I oh I,
gotta spend just a little more time with you, I'll be walking in the light.
Gotta spend just a little bit more time with you, oh oh.
Gotta spend just a little more time with you, just a little more time, just a little more time.
Gotta spend just a little bit more time with you, oh oh....

    Oh oh oh oh

    Gotta' watchdog watchin' me doggy- watchin' me packin' my bags

    Gotta' spend just a little bit more time with you- yeah yeah
    Oh, oh, oh

    Passed on the cocaine, said bye-bye to my methadone
    Put down the bottle for one more day- backin' off of my tobacco jones
    Still I feel like a hopeless junkie- like a man who can't say no
    I look back, and there's that monkey- rascal won't let go- let me go

    Gotta' spend just a little more time with you- so help me now
    Gotta' spend just a little more time with you my baby- oh oh
    Gotta' spend just a little more time with you, yes I do now, yes I do, now baby
    Gotta' spend just a little more time with you, yeah now- oh oh oh

    (harmonica- Stevie Wonder)

    I get high, and I can't come down, I get high just hangin' around
    I get high, I go lost and found, I get high, oh I, oh I
    Gotta spend just a little bit more time with you baby, I'll be walkin' in the light
    Gotta' spend just a little more time with you yeah- oh oh
    Gotta' spend just a little more time with you, just a little more time, just a little more time

    Man it was such a good day when I ran across Hourglass then October Road! My life was full... so glad he asked for a little more time..

  6. B.... B....

    FOREVER.........

  7. S.... L....

    Looks like he's wearing Pharrell's hat XD

    S.... L....

    lol, twenty years before Pharrell did.

  8. G.... 2....

    My two most favourite artists in one song ...... what more to ask .... love it JTs lyrics and Stevelands distinctive harmonica ....

  9. K.... A....

    I ALWAYS been a big fan of James Taylor when I was a kid. I remember when he was featured on Sesame Street a few times. This song brings me back to my late school days. It was released in 1997. Plus one fact, the harmonica in the background was done by Stevie Wonder.

  10. P.... W....

    This entire album is top notch!! Yet this song really speaks to our more human side.

  11. l.... ....

    One of my personal favorites from JT's "Hourglass" album. Stevie Wonder's AMAZING harmonica solo & the irresistible chorus are what REALLY make this one stand out for me!!!!!

  12. J.... K....

    Classic right here mane
