Intro:

C       Dm      C         Dm
 Uh-huh huh, oh yeah, oh, listen to me people...

Verse 1:

C                    Dm                C               Dm
 I ain't got time to think about money, or what it can buy.
    C                    Dm                  C                   Dm
And I ain't got time, to sit down and wonder, what makes a birdy fly.
      Em                   Fmaj7          Em                   Fmaj7
And I don't have the time, to think about, what makes a flower grow.
      Em           Fmaj7             F         Dm7   C
And I never gave a second thought to where the river flows.

Chorus 1:

C
 (Too busy thinkin' 'bout my baby),

And I ain't got time for nothin' else, oh yeah, now...

Verse 2:

            C                        Dm
I said, uh, I ain't got time, to dis-cuss the weather,
   C                    Dm
Or how long it's gonna' last.
        C                    Dm             C                  Dm
And uh, I ain't got time, to do no studyin', once I get out of class.
            Em            Fmaj7               Em         Fmaj7
Tellin' you I'm... just a fella; said I got a, one track mind.
            Em                       Fmaj7
And when it comes to thinkin' 'bout, anything but my baby,
  F          Dm7      C
I just don't have the time.

Chorus 2:

C
 (Too busy thinkin' 'bout my baby),
      F         Dm7              C
And I ain't got time for nothin' else, don't you know I'm...

C
 (Too busy thinkin' 'bout my baby),
      F         Dm7              C
And I ain't got time for nothin' else, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah.

        C                   Dm            C                      Dm
All the diamonds and pearls, in the world, could never match her worth.
     C                 Dm
Naw, she's some kinda' wonderful,
                 C                      Dm
People tell ya'; I've got Heaven, right here on earth.
Em             Fmaj7          Em             Fmaj7
 I'm... just a fella; with a, one, one track mind.
            Em                       Fmaj7
And when it comes to thinkin' 'bout, anything but my baby,

I just don't have the time.
