Lyrics
Times like this
The clock on the wall shows twenty after one
You still haven?t made it home
You went out with friends in someone else?s car
I wish that I knew where you are
CHORUS
It is times like this, life puts me to the test
It is times like this, I really must confess (how hard that)
Times like this are
In times like this I still love you
The clock on the wall says its getting very late
You still are very much awake
I have fed you, changed you, walked you for awhile
I am getting very tired
Chorus
The clock on the wall shows twenty after one
Your schoolwork still has not been done
I have humored, pleaded, worried you would fail
This all has been to no avail
Chorus
The clock on the wall shows twenty after 8
You argue with everything I say
You are late for school and I am late as well
If you care, I really couldn?t tell
