Can't Find the Time Lyrics

[Chorus]
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you
Ba da da da da da da
I can't find the time to tell you

So many things to say
I could fit 'em in a book
Fit 'em in a book of a thousand pages, yeah

So many people say
That I couldn't tell a lie
Couldn't tell a lie in a thousand ages

Baby you're wrong
Baby you're wrong

[Chorus]

I look at your pretty face
And I fall in love with you
Fall in love with you every time I see you, yeah

Nightgowns of regal lace
That are flowin' to the ground
Flowin' to the ground in a mist around you

Baby you're wrong
Baby you're wrong
Baby you're wrong
Baby you're wrong

[Chorus]

Ba da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Just heard this lush song last week for the first time in a long time-I am puzzled why this love song includes ( multiple times) the line “Baby you’re wrong”- seems out of place. Have listened to lots of Orpheus interviews over the years, but never heard it explained! Any ideas?

@Buck1978 Been wondering about that myself. Sounds like it could be the middle of an argument or disagreement between hubby & wife or boyfriend & girlfriend. Sounds like she is accusing him of lying about something... maybe an affair... the last verse about the flowing nightgown is really from left field... unless it's so personal only she would know what it means... Great song but the lyrics really are a mystery.
