Out Of Time Lyrics

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're Out Of Time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

A girl who wants to run away, discovers that she's had her day
It's no good thinking that you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby, my poor unfaithful baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

You thought you were a clever girl giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line
You're obsolete, my baby, my poor old fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Out Of Time Song Chart

In this song, Mick Jagger sings about snubbing a girl who wants him back. Getting the upper hand in a relationship was becoming a common theme with The Stones.

In England, this was a #1 hit for Chris Farlowe in 1967. Farlowe also covered The Stones' "Think" and "Ride On, Baby." Farlowe's cover, (which was produced by Mick Jagger), is the only Jagger/Richards written chart topper in the UK performed by another act. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)

This was left off the US version of Aftermath. A different version was included on the compilation album Flowers.

Brian Jones played the marimbas. He played many unusual instruments for the Stones until his death in 1969.

The Stones released a symphonic version on their album Metamorphosis. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
