Time For Me to Fly Lyrics

Artist: REO Speedwagon
Album: Best Foot Forward

I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

{Refrain} Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

Oh, don't you know it's...
{Refrain}

It's time for me to fly
{Repeat to end}

This song is timeless-awesome-incredibile!! I love it as much today as I did in the 70's when it first came out!! Everyone, and I do mean everyone, at one time in their life, would love to sing this song to that someone who broke their heart and sing it with triumph!!

I wonder where they got the word "intoleration"? I am pretty sure it's not a word.

"Intoleration" Intolerance; lack of toleration; refusal to tolerate a difference of opinion. There u go!

I've always liked REO's music and bought the "Hits" cd about a year or so ago. It was only within the past couple of days that I heard "Fly" on the radio and fell in love all over again with "Fly" which welled up a failed previous relationship. What a song!

They were their best when Gary was still in the band.
