He said goodbye from the edge of the porch
Like she'd been some casual friend
He said "You're better off without me, I'm not what you need" like her momma had said about him
He started the car pulled out of the drive didn't waste anytime lookin back
She watched him go thinkin even a stranger would show more compassion than that
[Chorus:]
She could've cried but she didn't have time
She had a baby to feed, a pink blanket to find, to rock their little one to sleep
She could've laid in bed for hours giving misery the power
But she didn't have time
She got a sitter and she got a job 'cause she had a promise to keep
Her day was a factory and evenin survival and night was exhaustion and sleep
Sometimes she felt life was passing her by and watching was all she could do
Her friends said "You gotta get outta the house and maybe you'll meet someone new"
[Chorus:]
She could've tried but she didn't have time
She had a five years old to feed, she had ballet class, piano lessons and t-ball little league
She could've laid awake for hours giving lonely nights the power
But she didn't have time
Not time, where would she find the time to trust a man again
Not time, for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then,
Not time, but yes have coffee with the man that got her tire fixed
She was thinking "Gosh, he's handsome"
When he asked
"Do you have kids?"
She could've lied but she didn't have time, all she said was "She's five"
He said "I saw the car seat, I love kids, does she have your eyes"
And they sat and talked for hours givin destiny its power
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
But she didn't have time
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
But she didn't have time

Review about She Didn't Have Time I didn't have time....... | Reviewer: Amber B | 9/10/09
This is a song that as like many, portrays my life...
I was 3 months pregnant when the "Donor" decided to party instead of raise a child, because he had a choice "Stay IN or Stay OUT", cause I wasn't having someone coming in and out of my sons life. He chose to STAY OUT.
I was an 18 year old single mom (completely) raising my son, going to college to better myself even when others said I couldn't do it.. I had the occasional guy come to talk and has soon as I would tell them I had a child, would turn and walk away.
I didn't have time to play games. i had to look towards mine and my son's future..
9 years later I have a Bachelors Degree, My son is in 3rd grade with All A's, I have my own land. and.. On my own again.... I have a 1 year old little girl that I am completely raising by myself..
and I still don't have time.. I have 2 to feed, to bring to baseball, football, basketball, and also work.. Trying to find time to sleep uh?
So I relate so much, just waiting on that special man to fix my tire and have a happy ending. :) But now 27, I don;t know if I want to find him, how would I know if I will have time to care anymore..
But WE single MOMs can do IT all by ourself.. WE don't need to man to make us who we are and who our children will be and become.
GooD LUCK TO EVERY single MOM OUT THERE.. WE ARE STRONG, AND ALL WE NEED IS TIME FOR OUR BABIES, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!
I love this song, but I had hope after I had my son and his dad left me when I was 8 months pregnant and me and my son were evicted from our house and everything. I found someone a year later that was so in love with my son and I...we now have a daughter who is now 8 months old. He left when she was 4 months old and I never would have expected him to be a deadbeat in a million years. I still think that he has potential to be a great dad and husband but he needs to grow up first. I hope and pray that he will everyday for my childrens sake, but if not I will raise them myself and they will still have lots of love and attention because they are all I have in this life and they are my whole world. I would be nobody without seeing my daughters beautiful smile and without having my hilarious 2 year old son to wake up to every morning.

Im one month pregnant and me and the baby daddy just broke up after a month in a few day relationship. It sucks but i hope soon to find someone new...... I hope to find a SEXI and NICE man to comfort me like the one in this video... This video really inspires me to make a move and go out and look and find that one special person...

she didn't have time | Reviewer: Meggan | 10/26/07
this song i can relate to...when i was 7 mnths with my lovely daughter my boyfriend of 2 yrs left me for someone 5 yrs younger than me hes 19 and shes 14 but he still talks to me and now that our daughter is born he only comes and visits on her birthday it stinks but i have found someone to love the both of us...
I was with a 3 month old when my sons father left me. I didnt have time for anything but to raise my son. I sat and listened to this song EVEYNIGHT. I knew I wasnt going to be like her. I wasnt going to find some great man who wanted some washed up poor lil white girl with a son. I went out one night with my son (who was 8 months at the time) and I got in a t-bone accident. Luckily nothing horrible had happend. But anyways the guy who I hit is now fathering my son. The first thing he did in our accident was dive into my backseat and get my son. From then on, I listen to this song and think. I found him. It only takes hope and DONT let yourself be like me, thinking all is lost. Life does have great things in it. I found him

i was sitting around on the couch feeling sorry for myself when the video for this song came on. i sat there and cried, not only because i can relate to the lyrics but because it gave me hope.
