About This Track

'Time' by Jorja Smith is an R&B/Soul track on the album 'Be Right Back', released in 2021. The lyrics frame a late-night, hands-on encounter, full of invitation and momentum, but with clear boundaries about what it is and is not for. The singer describes being present for the moment, while steering away from affection and commitment, insisting the arrangement is time-limited. There is a teasing, slightly defiant confidence to the delivery, with the repeated emphasis on “I’m right here” setting a restless, immediate tone.

"Time" is a track by Jorja Smith, from the album Be Right Back, released 13th May 2021. The track is 1:55 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Jorja Smith.

Lyrics

Time

Come and roll your weed, you can teach me how
You could ride this wave, I can show you now
I'm right here and I might be a real girl
I'll take you on a trip, I'll take you out this world

Nah, I'm not here to hug you, I'm just for the night
No, I'm not here to love you, I'm not here to fight
Don't wanna be blamed for any drama
Don't wanna be here just to pick up all this karma

So I'm allowed to love you if I wanted to
I can't be asked to trust, so why should I ever need to?
It's mutual, if you want it, then I'm here for you
If you need it, I probably need it too
So, come and roll your weed, you can teach me how

So, take your time
Take a little time
I'm just coming out of a snow fight now
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna settle down with you
Come on 'round
Tell me 'bout your day
I can see if I can tend to you
Hold me down
Stay your ground

Everyone there, we have pet names
You know, but me ah Bejoice
What's your name, Bejoice?
Yeah, mine was Bejoice
Bejoice, as in like rejoice, but Bejoice?
Bejoice
Who gave you that?
Huh?
Who gave you Bejoice?
That's how it is, like Madame Reid, her name was Daphne
Yeah, I know
Bejoice
We all have pet names
What's my pet name?
You don't have any
