Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up
Got another day to get
Through now
Got another man to see
Gotta call him on the telephone, way-o
Gotta find a piece of paper
[Verse 2]
Sit down
Got another letter to write
Think hard
Gotta get the letter just right
Little ringing on the telephone, whoa no
Gotta write another letter
[PreChorus]
No such thing as tomorrow
All we want (Two, three, go!)
[Chorus]
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
[Verse 3]
If I
Tell you what I'm doing today
Will you
Shut up and get out of my way?
Someone asked me what the time is, I don't know
Only know I gotta go now
[Verse 4]
No time
Trying to get a watch repaired
No time
Never got a thing to wear
Little ringing on the telephone, whoa no
Hear it ringing in my head now
[PreChorus]
No such thing as tomorrow
All we want (Two, three, go!)
[Chorus]
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
[PreChorus]
No such thing as tomorrow
All we want (Two, three, go!)
[Chorus]
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
[Chorus]
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
(Time) Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head
