Lyrics:

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin', that's all you seem to do
Messin' around every guy in town, puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new
Always the same, playin' your game, drive me insane, trouble's gonna come to you
One of these days and it won't be long, you'll look for me, but, baby, I'll be gone

This is all I gotta say to you, woman
Your time is gonna come (x4)

Made up my mind, break you this time, won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do want you want, I won't take the brunt, it's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore
Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay, gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart
People talkin' all around, watch out, woman, no longer is the joke gonna be on my heart

You've been bad to me woman, but it's coming back home to you
Your time is gonna come (x4)
Your time is gonna come (bye, bye bye, baby)
Your time is gonna come (right now, right now)
Your time is gonna come (believe me, my girl)
Your time is gonna come (oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Your time is gonna come (nah-nah, nah-nah, nah-nah)
Your time is gonna come (I'm not likely to wait for ya)
Your time is gonna come (goodbye, baby)

Personal notes: Excellent organ work, thanks to John Paul Jones, and a catchy chorus. However, I have to say that this has always been my least favorite track on the album. Not that it isn't a good song, but I suppose I've never *really* gotten into it. Yet, anyway.

Influences: None found.
