So what's it all about
Do you really want to to know 
Do you want to to give 
Or do you just want to to take it all and go 
Coz you've gotta let it out 
If you want to let it in 
Gotta get a little bit of lovin' in 
To make it all begin 

You've gotta find time 
To pick the right time to make a change 
'Cause its a fine time 
To pick the right time to make a change 

So when you gonna learn that it takes all sorts 
Don't you think life would be a little drab 
If we had the same thoughts 
'Cause you've taken all the good 
But you leave me with the bad 
And if you don't make a change pretty soon 
There won't be nothin' comin back

You've gotta find time 
To pick the right time to make a change 
'Cause its a fine time 
To pick the right time to make a change 

I do believe you read the verse 
I do believe you wrote the words 
I just need to let you out to let you in with me 
I just need to feel you're love again and again 

You've gotta find time 
To pick the right time to make a change 
'Cause its a fine time 
To pick the right time to make a change 
So what's it all about, 
And do you really want to to know 
Do you want to give 
Or do you just want to take it all and go 
'Cause you've got to let it out 
If you want to let it in 
Better let a bit of little lovin' in 
And make it all begin 

You've gotta find time 
To pick the right time to make a change 
You'd better find time, 
Be the right time to make a change

I do believe you read the verse
I do believe you wrote the words
I just need to let you out to let you in again
I just need to feel you're love again 
And again and again and again
