Aaron Neville › The Ticks Of The Clock

Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
Its about to drive me insane

Oh why shes 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 wont know until its too late
Could be my bad luck
Maybe she done stood me up

She thinks that Im lame
The way she treats mes a crying shame
Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
Its about to drive me insane

Oh why, she havent got here yet
Shes the meanest girl Ive ever met
Could she still be at home
I think Ill 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 Im lame
But the way she treats mes a crying shame
Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
Its about to drive me insane

Oh why shes 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 wont know until its too late
Could be my bad luck
Maybe she done stood me up

She thinks that Im lame
The way she treats mes a crying shame
Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
Its about to drive me insane

Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
Its about to drive me insane
