Lyrics

[Chorus]

Listen to the clock on the wall

It's getting mighty late

Closer to the hour when we have to separate

Listen to the clock on the wall

It's moving much too fast

Girl, I love this feeling and I want this feeling to last

[Verse 1]

You step out to see me

And I step out to see you

We don't have much time

To blow each other's minds

Girl, you better hurry (I, I)

Your husband might get worried

And my wife, she doesn't see

The change in me

[Chorus]

Listen to the clock on the wall

It's getting, getting mighty late

Closer to the hour when we have to separate

Listen to the clock on the wall

It's moving, moving much too fast

Girl, I love this feeling and I want this feeling to last

[Verse 2]

Someday we'll be together (I, I)

Forever and ever

Then we won't have to worry

We won't have to hurry

But now we gotta hurry (Come on, come on)

'Cause your husband might get worried

And my wife, she doesn't see

The change in me

Oh, you better

[Bridge]

Ooh-ooh

Oh, yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Ooh-ooh, ooh

Oh

Oh

Ah-ah

[Chorus]

Listen to the clock on the wall

It's getting, getting, getting mighty late

Closer to the hour when we have to separate

Listen to the clock on the wall

It's moving, moving, moving much too fast

Girl, I love this feeling and I want this feeling to last

You better

[Outro]

Listen to the clock on the wall

(Oh, baby now)

(Oh, don't stop, won't you)

(I just don't wanna leave you baby, if you ready)

Listen to the clock on the wall

(Girl, I love you, oh)

(Come on baby, oh, come on)

(Come on baby, baby)

Listen to the clock on the wall

(Just wanna stay with you)
