Aaron Neville - The Ticks Of The Clock

The Ticks Of The Clock

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
