Tick Tock

(album: Instant Vintage - 2002)

You see, baby
I ain't going nowhere .... no
I'm just gon' wait on you
Girl, I swear

I'm here when you need me, you should know
I can always listen, so
'Cause, girl you're my baby (baby)
This thing that you're going through
Just do what you got to do
And love will show you the rest, girl

How much time do you need
To solve all your deeds?
'Cause I could go for a ride!
Now, tell me one thing, please
Nobody will shuffle me
'Cause we might just have a chance, girl

[Chorus:]
I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes 1, 000 years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do

My friends say I'm slipping over you
I wonder how they knew
But, I guess I'm home every night
I still have visions of you
No other girl will do
Shit, I just got to kiss you

And, I know this can't be the end
We got to be free from sin
At least we can try
But, here's what we gonna do
'Cause I understand you
Let's make out just one more time

[Chorus:]
I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes 1, 000 years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do
Forever will I wait on you
And, I hope that you feel like I do
It's so hard for me to wear my watch
Because all I hear is tick and tock

You see, sometimes, lady
When I'm alone by myself (yeah)
All I can do is think about the times we use to share
Think about the good times, baby
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

And, you know another thing baby
It ain't the same no more when I go out at night
I get a bunch of numbers, baby
And, they all just stay in my pockets for days
I don't wanna call nobody else
I don't wanna see nobody else
I don't wanna work nobody else
But, I guess I'll – I guess I'll just wait

[Chorus:]
I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes 1, 000 years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do
Forever will I wait on you
And, I hope that you feel like I do
It's so hard for me to wear my watch
Because all I hear is tick and tock (tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock)

Oh yeah, baby!
Come on back home, baby
Lord, have mercy
Please! Please! Please!
