The clock above the bar
Is telling me it's 12:15
It's not such a gentle reminder
That I'm where I shouldn't be
I just keep waiting for something to happen
Waitin' for somebody to come walkin' in
Somebody as perfect as you were
So I can try it again
(But) chances are so hard to come by
And the second one is impossible to find
The clock keeps runnin' and the odds keep getting higher
That it's all just a fantasy of mine
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
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 coming in here
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
I suppose I should cut all my losses
Go home with a six-pack of beerI'm feeling broken down
When she is not around
The way I live brought me to the grief
There is a single escape from it if she would like to return
There is no change, I'm still estranged
My flat's looking upside down until she is back again
(Until she is back again)
Unwashed all my clothes remain
And in a mess is my kitchen
(And what else can you say ?)
The sun went off and I can't stop the rain
And I am at sixes and sevens babe
About what to do
(You're at sixes and sevens) I'm feeling broken down
(You're at sixes and sevens) When she is not around
(You're at sixes and sevens) About what to do
I look at the ceiling the way I'm feeling
And nothing never ever, ever, ever changes
Until she is back again
(Until she is back again)
Unsaid all my thoughts remain
And I'm wasting all that I can spend
(And what else can you say ?)
My living went down the drain
And I'm at sixes and sevens babe
About what to do
Babe
About what to do
(You're at sixes and sevens) I'm feeling broken down
(You're at sixes and sevens) When she is not in town
(You're at sixes and sevens) About what to do
