Lyrics The Jacksons – Time Out For The Burglar

In time my eyes are telling you a story
So I have to end it
But what you might hear isn’t always what I said to ya
Oh yeah

(Time out)
How did I get in this fix, baby?
(Time out)
The fakes all up to their tricks
(Time out)
I’m out on the limb
I sink or swim
Time out ’cause I’m cashing in

Think alive as the time rolls
There’s one way in or out
Could I fall (could I fall), if I can’t cope (if I can’t cope)
But I’m staying on my toes
Don’t give up (don’t give up), ’til it’s over (over)
What I should do is think this whole thing through

(Time out)
Some days you gotta think fast
(Time out)
You hope your luck gonna last
(Time out)
I’m out on the limb
I sink or swim
Time out ’cause I’m cashing in, baby
(Time out)

(Time out)
Some days you gotta think fast
(Time out)
You hope your luck gonna last
(Time out)
I’m out on a limb
I sink or swim
Time out ’cause I’m cashing in
(Time out)
Oh, how did I get in this fix?
(Time out)
The fakes all up to their tricks
(Time out)
Oh, I’m out on the limb
I sink or swim
Time out ’cause I’m cashing in, no no

(Time out)
(Time out)
(Time out)
Ooooh, tear it up
(Time out)
Tear it up, tear it up
(Time out)
Tear it up, tear it up
(Time out)
Tear it up, tear it up
