Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's prime time
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Tick-tock, I'm watching the clock
I can't wait 'til we get to rock
I wanna scream and dream and throw a love parade
Is that okay?
Tonight it's me and you alone
Won't make a call, won't even write a song
See, I've been waitin' and waitin' for the time to say
Now listen, baby
[Verse 3]
When you're down, and it's hard
And you feel like you've given your all
Baby, our love will always keep it real and true
[Verse 4]
'Cause, baby, it's a prime time for our love
Ain't nobody peekin' but the stars above
It's a prime time for our love
And Heaven is bettin' on us
[Verse 5]
Speed up
Speed on down
Here we go
Separate
[Verse 6]
Bang, bang, I'm callin' your name
You're like a fire the world can't tame
I wanna riot 'til the stars come out and play
Is that okay? (That okay?) Yeah
Tonight it's me and you alone
Won't take a call, won't even write a song
This'll be a personal holiday
Listen, baby
[Verse 7]
When you're down, and it's hard
And you feel like you've given your all
Baby, my love is always right here for you
Yeah
[Verse 8]
'Cause, baby, it's a prime time for our love
Ain't nobody peekin' but the stars above
It's a prime time for our love
And Heaven is bettin' on us, yeah
[Verse 9]
It's a prime time for our love (Yes, it is)
Ain't nobody peekin' but the stars above
It's a prime time for our love
And Heaven is bettin' on us
[Verse 10]
I know sometimes I'm mysterious
And you're mysterious, too
But tonight
I don't wanna be mysterious with you
[Verse 11]
'Cause, baby, it's a prime time for our love
Ain't nobody peekin' but the stars above
It's a prime time for our love
And Heaven is bettin' on us
