Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart

It's about to drive me insane



Oh why she's never on time

She should have been here since a quarter 'til nine

What could be keeping her so long

Well is she in another mans arms



Do we still have our date

I won't know until it's too late

Could be my bad luck

Maybe she done stood me up



She thinks that i'm lame

The way she treats me's a crying shame

Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart

It's about to drive me insane



Oh why, she haven't got here yet

She's the meanest girl i've ever met

Could she still be at home

I think i'll try to call her on the phone



Her mother answered the phone

And said that she had already gone

I should let her go

But oh, i love her so



She thinks that i'm lame

But the way she treats me's a crying shame

Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart

It's about to drive me insane



Oh why she's never on time

She should have been here since a quarter 'til nine

What could be keeping her so long

Oh, is she in another mans arms



Do we still have our date

I won't know until it's too late

Could be my bad luck

Maybe she done stood me up



She thinks that i'm lame

The way she treats me's a crying shame

Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart

It's about to drive me insane



Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart

It's about to drive me insane
