I really meant to call you
Can't make it, but I tried
Keep running out of time
I wish that I could come through

Would say another time
But I'm busy every night
Can't slow down, I'm all gas, no brakes
Haven't even been home, uh-uh

Nothing's wrong, these errands been running me
Time ain't even my own
Don't take it personal
Don't take it the wrong way or get it confused

You know I'm on the move
And this work won't turn me loose
I really meant to call you
Can't make it, but I tried

Keep running out of time
I wish that I could come through
Would say another time
But I'm busy every night, mm

Wish that I could give you time
But it's something that I can't provide right now
I wanna give my attention
My capacities won't let me divide right now

Don't take it personal
Don't take it the wrong way or get it confused
You know I'm on the move
And this work won't turn me loose

I really meant to call you
Can't make it, but I tried
Keep running out of time
I wish that I could come through

Would say another time
But I'm busy every night, yeah
Might be gone right now
But I'll be back for you, oh

Ain't no love lost when I do, it's true
I really meant to call you
I wish that I could come through
I really meant to call you

Can't make it, but I tried
Keep running out of time
I wish that I could come through
Would say another time

But I'm busy every night, oh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, oh
I wish that I could come through, oh
