 "Time For Livin'"
 (Don Addrisi - Dick Addrisi)
 
 Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
 Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
 
 From the composers of "Never My Love", this is the Addrisi Brothers at
 their fun lovin' best. This song debuted on "Top Of The Pops" when the
 group was in London. Unique vocal arrangement drops one half-tone on
 each repeat of the fade.

 Verse 3 :
 
 Too busy to stop and notice the things that are real
 Embarassed to talk about all the things that I feel
 It's so strange never noticed the world all around me
 Hey look, I've changed
 My attitude's been rearranged
 From now on I'm taking some
