Tickin' Away

[Verse 1] The clock above the bar Is telling me it's twelve fifteen It's a not such a gentle reminder That I'm where I shouldn't be I just keep waiting for something to happen Waiting for somebody to come walkin' in Somebody as perfect as you were So I can try it again [Pre-Chorus] But chances are so hard to come by And the second one is impossible to find The clock keeps runnin' And then the odds keep gettin' higher That it's all just a fantasy of mine [Chorus] But I shouldn't be thinkin' about it I shouldn't be worried about it It's just a clock on the wall But it's tickin' away It's tickin' away It's tickin' away It's tickin' away [Verse 2] I suppose I should cut all my losses Go home with a six-pack of beer There ain't nobody in the world like you, baby If there was, she wouldn't be comin' in here [Chorus] But I shouldn't be thinkin' about it I shouldn't be worried about it It's just a clock on the wall But it's tickin' away It's tickin' away It's just a clock on the wall But it's tickin' away It's tickin' away It's tickin' away It's just a clock on the wall But it's tickin' away [Bridge] I suppose I should cut all my losses Go home with a six-pack of beer [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Hey Tickin' away Tickin' away, tickin' away Tickin' away Tickin' away, tickin' away Tickin' away Ooh
