It's about time
We stopped foolin' around
'cause I can't go on loving like this
It's about time
You got closer to me
It's alright for a while
But we're more than a mile apart

Are we just playing at lovers
Doing the right thing to do
I'm always running for cover
When I ought to be running to you
Sometimes you're more like a stranger
And baby I think I've lost you
Feels like I'm heading for danger
When I ought to be heading for you

It's about time
We stopped foolin' around
'cause I can't go on loving like this

Are we just playing at lovers
Doing the right thing to do
I'm always running for cover
When I ought to be running to you
Sometimes you're more like a stranger
And baby I think I've lost you
Feels like I'm heading for danger
When I ought to be heading for you

It's about time
We stopped foolin' around
'cause I can't go on loving like this
It's about time
You got closer to me
It's alright for a while
But we're more than a mile apart

Stop foolin' around
Get closer to me
I'm always running for cover
What you're doing to me
It's about time
More than a stranger
It's alright for a while
But we're more than a mile apart

Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
