Lyrics

Tick Tock

Written by: Lisa N. Courtney
December, 2002

I want to?
Kick back!
Relax!
I want to spend some time.
Slow down,
Get off this Merry-Go-Round!

Tick Tock!
The clock!
The time is passing by.
I want to settle down.
Get my feet back on the ground!

Rat Race!
Home late!
You?re on the telephone.
Can?t wait,
We keep going around and around!

Tick Tock!
The clock!
No time to celebrate.
You play me for the fool.
While you break all the rules!

White lies!
Alibi?s !
There?s nothing left to do.
Too bad,
I?m tire of waiting and waiting and waiting on you!

Tick Tock!
The Clock!
Keeps telling me we?re through.
I want to settle down.
Get my feet back on the ground!
(sound of clock ticking) optional
Tick Tock, The Clock, Tick Tock?.

Tag (optional)
TIME?.
Just ran out on you..Hmmm
