"I Ain't Got Time Anymore" is a song by the British singer Cliff Richard, released as a single in August 1970. It peaked at number 21 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]
Release[edit]
"I Ain't Got Time Anymore" was written by Mike Leander and Eddie Seago and features an accompaniment by the Mike Vickers Orchestra. It was released with the B-side "Monday Comes Too Soon", written by Hank Marvin and Jerry Lordan.[3]
Reviewing for Record Mirror, Peter Jones described "I Ain't Got Time Anymore" as " a slow starter, through the verse with an inquiring sort of tone and then into a gentle-paced chorus, with voices tacked on... The performance is beyond criticism, as it usually is with Cliff. I guess his success is an ability to switch disc styles. Whatever it is this is destined for a very high chart placing".[4]
