"Not Enough Time" is a song by Australian rock band INXS, released as the third single from their eighth studio album, Welcome to Wherever You Are (1992). The song was written by Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence; the music in Sydney and the lyrics in Paris, France.{{cite web |url=http://inxs.com/track.aspx?id=1536 |title=INXS.com - Not Enough Time |website=inxs.com |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101126231821/http://inxs.com/track.aspx?id=1536 |archive-date=26 November 2010 |url-status=dead}} It was released simultaneously with "Baby Don't Cry", but only in the United States, Canada, and Japan. The song also appears on the compilation album Barcelona Gold, released to coincide with the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Composition

The lyrics to the song were originally intended for another composition from Welcome To Wherever You Are, which later became the album's opening song, "Questions". The original version can be heard on the 2002 remaster of the album. Australian singer Deni Hines appears as a backing vocalist on the song and went on to marry guitarist Kirk Pengilly a year later in 1993.{{Cite web|url=https://www.brainyhistory.com/events/1993/december_30_1993_169225.html|title=Singer Deni Hines (22) weds INXS guitarist...
