Tick Tock

I gotta leave again

I don't wanna go

Things can be so lonely on the road

Could be a presidential suite

But nothing's ever like your bed at home

Especially when you're away from the one you love

It gets tough

Even though it hurts when I'm off at work

Looking at her picture soothes my pain

And for a moment, I find myself right back at home again

I remember, through the ups and the downs of my day

I can say, my baby will be

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for me

While the time goes (Tick-tock, tick-tock), my baby will be

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for me

While the time goes, oh (Tick-tock, tick-tock)

She's gotta leave again

She don't wanna go

Hates to be away from me so long

She calls me everyday but

She can't kiss her baby on the phone

When we're hanging up

The tears start rolling down

But somehow, oh

Even though she cries

She can find her smile

'Cause she knows with me her heart is safe

Funny how time away makes a loving heart grow fond again

She remembers, through the ups and the downs of her day

She can say (She can say), oh, that I'll be

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for her

While the time goes (Tick-tock, tick-tock), her baby will be

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for her

While the time goes (Tick-tock, tick-tock)

Oh, we remember, through the ups and the downs of our days

We can say, oh, that we'll be

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for love

While the time goes (Tick-tock, tick-tock), oh, we will be

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for love

While the time goes (Tick-tock, tick-tock)

Sitting, waiting, longing, oh

I'll be sitting, waiting, longing

I will be sitting, waiting, and longing

Till she comes home to me
