Verse I 
friend of mine she cries at night, and she 
Calls me on the phone 
Sees babies everywhere she goes and she 
Wants one of her own. 
She's waited long enough she says 
And still she can't decide 
Pretty soon she'll have to choose and it tears her up inside... 
She's scared...scared [bad word] out of time.

Verse II 
I see my folks, they're getting old, I watch their bodies change... 
I know they see the same in me, And it makes us both feel strange... 
No matter how you tell yourself, It's what we all go through... 
Those eyes are pretty hard to take when they're staring' back at you. 
Scared [bad word] out of time. 

 [bad word] 
When did the choices get so hard? 
With so much more at stake. 
Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste. 
Hummmm...Scared [bad word] out of time. 

Verse III 
Just when I thought I'd had enough 
All my tears were shed... 
No promise left unbroken, 
There were no painful words unsaid. 
You came along and showed me 
How to leave it all behind.... 
You opened up my heart again and then much to my surprise. 

I found love, Love in the Nick of Time. 3x
