BUY ME SOME TIME  (c) 1996 Monica E. Gómez Verse 1:  Don’t buy me a fur coat, ‘cause you don’t know what I wear. Don’t buy satin ribbons, you don’t know how I do my hair. I don’t need more knickknacks to put on my shelf but I could use some time to myself. Refrain:  Buy me some time, buy me some time buy me some time to myself. Verse 2:  Don’t buy me perfume, ‘cause you don’t know my scent. Don’t invest in black lace, it would be money ill-spent. If you’re lookin’ for some way to show off your wealth do buy me some time to myself.  Refrain Bridge:  I have known rich men, they bought me nice things but I ate all the chocolates and I don’t wear the rings. So before you ask me, “Will you be mine?” You should know what I want most is time. Verse 3:  Don’t send me flowers, that’s a bogus expense. Don’t knock yourself out over some extravagance. I don’t need a new Jaguar, or a Mach ten Stealth, but I could use some time to myself.  Refrain
