I've got to get to you first
            F 
Before they do
                        G  
It's just a question of time
                      F 
Before they lay their hands on you
                           Cm 
And make you just like the rest
                       G#   D# 
I've got to get to you first
                        Gm    F Gm F 
It's just a question of time    
                        G
Well now you're only fifteen
             F 
And you look good
                       G  
I'll take you under my wing
    F 
Somebody should
                   C 
They've persuasive mways
                             G# D# 
And you'll believe what they say
                        Cm 
It's just a question of time
     G# 
It's running  out for you 
   Cm
It won't be long
  Gm  
Until you'll do 
 G#               Bb
Exactly what they want you to 
 

Gm F Gm F 

               G 
I can see them now
         F 
Hanging around
            G 
To mess you up
   F 
To strip you down
               Cm 
And have their fun
               G# D# 
With my little one 
                        Cm
It's just a question of time
     G# 
It's running  out for you
   Cm 
It won't be long
  Gm  
Until you'll do
 G#               Bb 
Exactly what they want you to
   Cm 
It won't be long
  Gm  
Until you'll do
 G#               Bb 
Exactly what they want you to 
 
Sometimes I don't blame them 

For wanting you 

You look good 

And 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 
                        Gm 
It's just a question of time
             F 
It should be better
                        Gm 
It's just a question of time
             F 
It should be better with you
 
It's just a question of time
