(As I lie here, thinking of you)
(I realize that nothing is new)

Lying in my bed, thinking of you
I realize nothing is new
You say you love me, but want success
I say you're lying, nothing has changed

This is the sign of the times, piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times, time to be alone
This is the sign of the times, piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times, time to be alone

We're strong in bed, you're weak in love
You give me nothing more than a shove
I walk alone now, thinking of you
I realize, now, nothing is new

This is the sign of the times, piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times, time to be alone
This is the sign of the times (the sign of the times), piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times, time to be alone

(Why do we go on with this useless love-affair)
(When it seems, to me, that you don't really care?)
(I realize, now, nothing is new)
(Time to live my life without you, without you, without you)

I sit alone now, wondering about you
I'm livin' my life, what do you do?
You say you want me, but need success
I want your love, boy, want nothing less

This is the sign of the times (the sign of the times), piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times, time to be alone
This is the sign of the times (the sign of the times), piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times, time to be alone

This is the sign of the times (the sign of the times), piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times, time to be alone
This is the sign of the times (the sign of the times), piece of more to come
This is the sign of the times, time to be alone
