Time keeps movin' on
Friends they turn away
I keep movin' on 
But I never found out why 
I keep pushing so hard the dream
I keep tryin' to make it right
Through another lonely day, whoa

Dawn has come at last
Twenty-five years, honey just in one night, oh yeah
Well, I'm twenty-five years older now 
So I know we can't be right 
And I'm no better, baby
And I can't help you no more 
Than I did when just a girl

Aw, but it don't make no difference, baby, no, no
And I know that I could always try
It don't make no difference, baby, yeah
I better hold it now
I better need it, yeah
I better use it till the day I die, whoa

Don't expect any answers, dear
For I know that they don't come with age, no, no 
Well, ain't never gonna love you any better, babe
And I'm never gonna love you right
So you'd better take it now, right now

Oh! But it don't make no difference, babe, hey
And I know that I could always try
There's a fire inside everyone of us
You'd better need it now
I got to hold it, yeah
I better use it till the day I die

Don't make no difference, babe, no, no, no
And it never ever will, hey
I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah
I got to hold it, baby
I'm gonna need it now
I'm gonna use it, say, ahh

Don't make no difference, babe, yeah
Ah honey, I'd hate to be the one
I said you're gonna live your life 
And you're gonna love your life 
Or babe, someday you're gonna have to cry
Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed
Ah, baby, yes indeed

I said you, you're always gonna hurt me
I said you're always gonna let me down
I said everywhere, every day, every day 
And every way, every way
Ah honey won't you hold on to what's gonna move
I said it's gonna disappear when you turn your back
I said you know it ain't gonna be there 
When you wanna reach out and grab on

Whoa babe (3 x's)
Oh but keep truckin' on
Whoa yeah (3 x's)
Whoa (4 x's)
Whoa...
