The Time is the 1981 debut album by The Time. The album proper was produced and arranged by Jamie Starr, which was one of Prince's many pseudonyms. The Time produced three singles: "Get It Up", "Cool" and "Girl", with the first two charting within the top ten on the R&B charts. "Cool" was covered by Snoop Dogg for his ninth album, Ego Trippin'.
All songs written and composed by Prince, except where noted.
The Original 7ven (also known as The Time as well as Morris Day and the Time) is an American musical group that was formed in Minneapolis in 1981. Their work has been a part of the formation of the 'Minneapolis sound', featuring a mix of soul music and dance music with funk, rock n roll, and more. Led by singer-songwriter Morris Day, the band members are close Prince associates, and the group is arguably the most successful artist who have worked with him, achieving particular popularity with R&B fans with tracks such as "Jerk Out" and "Jungle Love". Band members Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are also long-time collaborators with Janet Jackson, producing all of her most successful albums.
The band was assembled under a clause in Prince's contract with Warner Bros. that allowed him to recruit and produce other artists for the label. Inspired by the 1980 film The Idolmaker, Prince decided to put together a pop-funk group that would serve as an outlet for material in the vein of his own early albums, while he explored other genres and styles in his own career.
You keep me waiting and I don't understand
But I'm trying hard to keep my cool
No use in hiding I know where you are
'Cause you've left too many clues
Why do you say that you want me
When someone else is holding you?
Oh, I'm always ready to see you
So find the time
Find the time
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
I'm telling everyone that you're still my man
I can hear them laugh behind my back
Oh, come on and prove it to me, show me I'm right
'Cause it's time to face the facts
So many lovers all over the place
But they never mean that much to you
You know it's me that you really want
So find the time
Find the time
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
Find the time
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
You keep me waiting and I don't understand
But I'm trying hard to keep my cool
No use in hiding, I know where you are
'Cause you've left too many clues
Why do you say that you want me
When someone else is holding you?
Oh, you know, it's me that you really need
So find the time
Find the time
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
Find the time
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
When will you find the time?
I'm telling everybody that you're still my man
I can hear them laugh behind my back
Find the time
You gotta find me
You gotta find me
Find the time
Find the time
Baby, find the time
Baby, find the time
Find the time
Find the time
I'm telling everybody
That you're still my man
