In Another Time — Sade

You'd be surprised, girl Soon they'll mean nothing to you They'll fall into their brew And take down some of the boys with them too There's nothing Nothing that you have to do

In another time, girl Your tears won't leave a trace In another time, girl In another place

You've been down, girl Their whispers are hailstones in your face You're so tired of waiting For something to change

They don't know what to do with Something so good That you wouldn't hurt them You wouldn't hurt them if you could One of these days They're gonna fall into their brew And they'll know exactly what they did to you

Darling, I just want you to know Your tears won't leave a trace In another time, girl In another time, girl In another place

Darling, I just want you to know Your tears won't leave a trace In another time, girl In another time, girl
