A Question of Time [Live at Pasadena Rose Bowl, June 18, 1988]
Martin Gore
I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
It's just a question in time
Well, now you're only fifteen
And you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Somebody should
They've persuasive ways
And you'll believe what they say
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
Yeah
Oh, I can see them now
Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
Yeah
Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good
They need something to do
Until I look at you
Then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in their minds
It's just a question of time (yeah, yeah)
It's just a question of time (oh)
It's just a question of time (yeah, it should be better)
It's just a question of time (hey, it should be better with you)
It's just a question of time (it should be better)
It's just a question of time (it should be better with you)
It's just a question of time (it should be better)

I've got to get to you first
Devo arrivare da te per primo
Before they do
Prima che lo facciano loro
It's just a question of time
È solo questione di tempo
Before they lay their hands on you
Prima che mettano le mani su di te
And make you just like the rest
E ti rendano come tutti gli altri
I've got to get to you first
Devo arrivare da te per primo
It's just a question in time
È solo una questione di tempo
Well, now you're only fifteen
Beh, ora hai solo quindici anni
And you look good
E sei bellissima
I'll take you under my wing
Ti prenderò sotto la mia ala
Somebody should
Qualcuno dovrebbe farlo
They've persuasive ways
Hanno modi persuasivi
And you'll believe what they say
E crederai a quello che dicono
It's just a question of time
È solo questione di tempo
And it's running out for you
E il tempo sta finendo per te
It won't be long until you'll do
Non passerà molto tempo prima che tu farai
Exactly what they want you to
Esattamente quello che vogliono che tu faccia
Yeah
Sì
Oh, I can see them now
Oh, posso vederli ora
Hanging around
In giro
To mess you up
Per rovinarti
To strip you down
Per spogliarti
And have their fun
E divertirsi
With my little one
Con la mia piccola
It's just a question of time
È solo questione di tempo
And it's running out for you
E il tempo sta finendo per te
It won't be long until you'll do

Esattamente quello che vogliono che tu faccia
It won't be long until you'll do
Non passerà molto tempo prima che tu farai
Exactly what they want you to
Esattamente quello che vogliono che tu faccia
Yeah
Sì
Sometimes I don't blame them
A volte non li biasimo
For wanting you
Per volerti
You look good
Sei bellissima
They need something to do
Hanno bisogno di qualcosa da fare
Until I look at you
Fino a quando non ti guardo
Then I condemn them
Allora li condanno
I know my kind
Conosco il mio tipo
What goes on in their minds
Cosa succede nelle loro menti
