Prime Time

The Tubes · Remote Control [1979]

Come fly with me

What are you waiting for

Come fly with me

Don't waste a minute more



I'll give you my prime time

I'm saving my prime time for you

Give you my prime time

I'm saving my prime time for you



I'm waiting here

For no one else but you

Come closer dear

That's all you have to do



I'll give you my prime time

I'm saving my prime time for you

Give you my prime time

I'm saving my prime time for you



Don't be shy

I would never hurt you

I have had my eye on you

for such a long, long time



You know I'm always here

if you should need me

If you want a drink or two

I'm the one you should see



Go anywhere

Still you can call on me

And I'll be there

Just say the word and see



I'll give you my prime time

I'm saving my prime time for you

Give you my prime time

I'm saving my prime time for you



I've waited here

for no one else but you

Come closer dear

That's all you have to do



I'll give you my prime time

I'm saving my prime time for you

Give you my prime time

I'm saving my prime time for you
