Ain't got the time for nobody
But you and I
Ain't got the time for nobody
But you and I
It's the right time for us
It's the right time for us

I can tell we got a good thing
'Cause temptation lost a hold on me
Don't need no other arms
(They'd only do you harm)
As long as you can handle love
I'll make sure you never get enough
'Cause all that I've been through
(Tells me that I'm right for you)
Hey, you gave me your trust
Now love me, 'cause...

It's the right time for us
And nobody else gets my love but you
It's the right time for us
You got me all to yourself
So do what you wanna do

I like it when we're out here dancin'
Don't matter what we're dancin' to
As long as it's with you
(I'll match every move you do)
Some people try to match their sign
But your heart is a match with mine
Don't care about the stars
(Or, baby, what sign you are)
Hey, we started with love
And it's growin', 'cause...

It's the right time for us
And nobody else gets my love but you
It's the right time for us
You got me all to yourself
So do what you wanna do

I don't need nobody, nobody, nobody
Just you and I
I don't need nobody, nobody, nobody
Only got the time for you and I

Ain't got the time for nobody
But you and I
Oh, nobody
Ain't got the time for nobody
But you and I
Don't mean a thing, baby

Ain't got the time for nobody
But you and I
I feel it when you take me in your arms
Ain't got the time for nobody
But you and I, oh...
The time is right for us

It's the right time for us
It's the right time for us

I can tell we got a good thing
'Cause temptation lost a hold of me
Don't need no other arms
(They'd only do you harm)
As long as you can handle love
I'll make sure you never get enough
'Cause all that I've been through
(Tells me that I'm right for you)
Baby, you gave me your trust
Now love me, 'cause...

It's the right time for us
And nobody else gets my love but you
It's the right time for us
You got me all to yourself
So do what you wanna do

It's the right time for us
I don't want nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody but you
It's the right time for us
I don't want nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody but you
It's the right time for us

It's the right time for us
I don't need nobody, nobody
Nobody but you
It's the right time for us
I don't need nobody, nobody
Nobody but you

It's the right time for us
I don't need nobody, nobody
Nobody but you
It's the right time for us
I don't need nobody, nobody
Nobody but you...

Shalamar is an American R&B and soul music vocal group, active in the mid-1970s and throughout the 1980s. Their original lineup consisted of Jeffrey Daniel, Jody Watley, and Gary Mumford. The group went through various lineup changes throughout the years, with Mumford replaced by Gerald Brown, and again by Howard Hewett. The lineup of Daniel, Hewett, and Watley was the most successful, selling two Platinum albums (Three For Love, Friends) and one Gold album (Big Fun).

Despite more lineup changes in the ‘80s, the group still churned out hits such as “Dancing in the Sheets” and “Don’t Get Stopped in Beverly Hills”, which won them a Grammy.

Daniel, Hewett, and Watley eventually reunited several times in the ‘90s and as recently as 2015, playing in the UK where they’ve had the most success.
