Marvelettes, The - No Time For Tears Lyrics






I've got no time
No time for tears
Though you walked out on me, oh yes you did
My life must go, you see
Though our love has ended
I've got another to be friends with
Oh I'm just gonna pick, pick up the pieces (Pick up the pieces)
And start life all over again

'Cause I know cryin' (No time for tears)
Won't bring you back, my love (No time for tears)
And I know worrying about you, baby (No time for tears)
Won't bring you back, my love (No time for tears)
Like the wise, I realize
What's done is done
Why should I cry today? (Why should I cry?)
When you didn't love me anyway?

I've got no time, no time, no time, baby (I've got no time)
No time for tears (No time for tears)
Life holds too many joys (I've got no time)
To worry about an unfaithful, unfaithful boy (No time for tears)
Just like I loved you, oh
There's other fellas lovable too
So I'm just gonna pick up the pieces (pick up the pieces)
And start life all over again

'Cause I've got no time, no time, baby (I've got no time)
No time for tears (No time for tears)
Cryin' won't bring you back, baby (I've got no time)

    this should have been on marvellette's anthology album. fantastic song. Wanda murdered this .

  11. m.... ....

    Outstanding Marvelettes Classic-Thank you

  12. R.... C....

    Apologies. My memory isn't what it once was. Although Wikipedia isn't always 100% factual either. I'll have to go digging through my old collection of 45's to verify this, but if you are correct, then my premise about great B-sides still holds. And this is a great one.

    R.... C....

    it was a B side and I fell in love with it way back then.

  13. s.... ....

    According to Wikipedia's article on the Marvelettes this song was the B-side of "I'll Keep Holding On, Tamla 54116, released in 1965. The flipside of Don't Mess With Bill, Tamla 54126, was "Anything You Wanna Do". There is no mention of alternate B-sides being used for the pressings with those issue numbers; are you referring to a 70s reissue?

    s.... ....

    You're right. I just wish this track would have been the ''A'' side - it''s class!

  14. A.... W....

    Just found this litte gem as i type in a few tunes because the t.v is just pants in England tonight. I was actualy listening to Only your love can save me by the Marvelettes and this tune popped up. Its a brill song and ive got it by the Elgins. give it a play and tell me what you think. I love them both........ Andy.

    A.... W....

    Genius track - Loved it for years!

  15. W.... B....

    A great, great Motown single; Motown liked to use the "B" sides for the more artistic efforts. "I'll Keep On Holding On" is another example as is "Need for Love." It is very hard in the later years to find any Marvelettes B side that wasn't really an A side.

    W.... B....

    "I'll Keeping Holding On" actually was the A side to "Not Time For Tears".

    W.... B....

    Absolutely - These Ladies were Great!

  16. T.... C....

    Outstanding ! Simply Oustanding recording !

  17. B.... ....

    I think this is Wanda's best vocal performance.

  18. m.... ....

    One of the best Marvelettes tracks ever made. wanda sounds so soulful and beautiful on this-Thank you so much

  19. G.... ....

    Simply Marvelous! Swift Creek High School, North Carolina. The memories are still beautiful in my mind forever.

    I wish that a lot of these "B" sides got more airplay because in my opinion, they had just as much - if not more- soul than the "A" sides did. This joint is pure soul magic and the pics capture the essence of that time.
