Lyrics

Just like a clock without hands
There'd be no tick tock
Just like a house without a door
There'd be no need to knock
Just like a pen with no ink
It cannot write
But if you come back to me
Everything would be all right
Just like a candle with no flame
It will not burn
Just like children without books
They cannot learn
Just like a lamp without a switch
It cannot light
But if you come back to me
Everything would be all right
I tried to please you, honey
To the greatest satisfaction
But no no, no no, baby
You wanted another attraction
Now please tell me
How can I go on without you?
Honey, how can my life go on without you
Darling, you better come back to me
Oh, let you end my misery
Listen
Oh, just like a clock without hands
There'd be no tick tock
Just like a house without a door
There'd be no need to knock
Darling, Just like a pen with no ink
It cannot write
But if you come back to me
Everything would be all right, babe
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Honey, just like a candle with no flame
It will not burn
Just like children without books
They cannot learn
Just like a lamp without a switch
It cannot light
But if you come back to me
Everything would be all right
