Write me a song called Time Waits For No One with the following description: Kenny Loggins' 1979 album Feel the Fire contains the song “Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong”, which features background vocals by Richard Page and a twenty-year-old Michael Jackson. Melodically, the openings of the verses to “Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong” and “Time Waits For No One” (1980) are nearly identical, and the fact that the songs begin in the same key and have a similar tempo makes the correlation even more apparent.
Although the Triumph album notes list “Time Waits for No One” as being written by Jackie and Randy Jackson, the extent to which Michael Jackson influenced the composition of the song, or was influenced by some of the background vocal gigs he took during this period, remains unknown.
What can easily be argued, however, is that as a ballad, “Time Waits for No One” feels much more like the largely soft-rock-like material in Michael Jackson’s background work for Loggins, Carole Bayer Sager, and Dave Mason, than like the Jacksons' more Philly-influenced earlier ballads (i.e. “Good Times”, “Find Me A Girl”, and “Push Me Away”).
Even if Michael Jackson did not really believe in genre differentiation, as he stated in a 1980 interview, the soft-rock influence in “Time Waits for No One” adds interest to the period between Off the Wall and Thriller, since he did not venture into this kind of musical territory before or after. Make sure the lyrics are different from the original song.

[Verse 1]
Lonely, in my darkened room
Sad and weary, persevering for love, for love
Sad and weary, persevering
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I hope that she is thinkin'
To come back to me
Is it possible she's thinkin' of me at all?
Have I gone too far?
[Verse 2]
If only, I had shown her love
She'd be with me, deep inside me
My love, my love
She'd be with me, deep inside me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I hope that she is thinkin'
To come back to me
And I pray that faith can bear
This suffering inside 'til she arrives
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And I hope that she is thinkin'
To come back to me
And I'm scared there's someone sleepin' by her side
I can't hide all the pain deep inside, is this love? [Chorus]
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
