I've got to get to you first before they do 
It's just a question of time before they lay their hands on you 
And make you just like the rest 
I've got to get to you first 

It's just a question of time 

Well now you're only fifteen and you look good 
I'll take you under my wing, somebody should 
They've persuasive ways 
And you'll believe what they say 

It's just a question of time 
And [bad word] out for you 

It won't be long until you do 
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 

It's just a question of time 
And [bad word] out for you 

It won't be long until you do 
Exactly what they want you to 

It won't be long until you do 
Exactly what they want you to 

Sometimes I don't blame them for wanting you 
You look good, 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 

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...
