time keeps slipping away

it started out baby

just like a dream

like teenage romance

we were head over heels

i can't read the future to tell what was in store

while i was sleepin'

she was on out the door

i can't believe that she said i was her man

as she was my baby

that's when the trouble began

as trouble follows you around all night and day

now that i know we'll go our separate way

don't let the screen door hit you where the good lord split you

cause time keeps tickin' away

don't let the screen door hit you where the good lord split you

cause time keeps tickin' away

what happened to the promise we made

for better

for worse

i think that we both said

we try to work it out and stay together

then i found out

it was all spoken mirrors

if you can't stand the heat

don't look in my direction

just leave the keys and take your obsession

what a show you put on

yeah it's quite a disgrace

your number's on the bedroom wall

say who wants a date

don't let the screen door hit you where the good lord split you

cause time keeps tickin' away

don't let the screen door hit you where the good lord split you

cause time keeps tickin' away

cause time keeps tickin'

time keeps tickin'

time keeps tickin' away
