Based on a shocking true story, this is the funky tale of a woman, who has time for little else including her man, because she's always "so tired".

Story behind the song
The lyrics tell the story of a married woman, who made friends with a married man in her old hometown, and during the first month of their "friendship", she managed to rack up over 17,000 text messages. Over half of them were to and from this so-called friend, including one conversation which lasted from 5:00 AM until 3:00 AM the next morning. Despite the objections of her husband and despite the consensus that this kind of behavior doesn't befit that of a devoted married woman, she defiantly continued on with this man and made it a point to see him every chance she got upon each return to her hometown, with a sort of us against the world mentality.
Lyrics
A conversation went on and on Deep discussion from dawn to dawn So when did you lay down to rest? It's so sublime, the hours spent I know you just can't give enough I know I just can't get enough I know you just can't give enough I know I just can't get enough Of your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) Your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) Your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) It's no wonder why you're always so tired A brand new friend, a bond so intense To the bitter end, at your man's expense You've got no time for decorum You change the rules or just ignore them I know you just can't give enough I know I just can't get enough I know you just can't give enough I know I just can't get enough Of your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) Your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) Your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) It's no wonder why you're always so tired I know you just can't give enough I know I just can't get enough I know you just can't give enough I know I just can't get enough Of your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) Your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) Your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) It's no wonder why you're always so tired So back you go to the old hometown Gas money spent, you cruise around A grand return because you can The question is, where is your man? I know you just can't give enough I know I just can't get enough I know you just can't give enough I know I just can't get enough Of your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) Your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) Your sweet time (morning, noon, and night) It's no wonder why you're always so tired
