Time won't wait for you Keeps on ticking away Burning up every day Ooh, (Time won't wait for you) Oh, time (Keeps on ticking away) Oh, time (Burning up every day) [Verse 1] She was sleeping at the bus stop Heaven away But a magic in her blue eyes Told me she had left a daze (Left a daze) So I have to check her wisdom And there was no doubt I told her I was sitting alone and on crestfallen Future's gonna catch me out [Chorus] She said, "Time won't wait for you So do all the things you wanted to Better hurry up, take it in your stride And use your resolution which you've been supplied And love won't change you, boy, it's true I can tell you till my face is blue Every second screams, listen to your dreams Ooh, 'cause you just can't stop the clock" [Verse 2] On a brick wall I was banging Over my head But the sweet rings on my feet now Where once they were made of lead (Sweet rings on my feet now) Do you hear the message in the music I hear it too You know, you got your history in the making Slowing down won't get you through, no, no [Chorus] Time won't wait for you So do all the things you wanted to Better hurry up, take it in your stride Use your resolution which you've been supplied And love won't change you, boy, it's true I can tell you till my face is blue Every second screams, listen to your dreams 'Cause you just can't stop the clock [Refrain] Time won't wait for you Keeps on ticking away Burning up every day Time won't wait for you Keeps on ticking away Burning up every day [Verse 3] It keeps on (It keeps on) You know that it keeps on You know that it keeps on (It keeps on) It keeps on ticking, yeah It keeps on (It keeps on) You know that it keeps on You know it keeps on Keeps on ticking, baby [Chorus] Time won't wait for you So do all the things you wanted to You better hurry up, hey, take it in your stride Use your resolution which you've been supplied Love won't change you, boy, it's true I can tell you till my face is blue Every second screams, listen to your dreams Oh, 'cause you just can't stop the pop [Backvocals] Ah, oh-wah oh-wah, eh-ah La-la-la-lah, la-la-lah la-lah, la-la-lah la-lah, la-lah Ah, oh-wah oh-wah, eh-ah La-la-la-lah, la-la-lah la-lah, la-la-lah la-lah, la-lah [Outro: Jay Kay, Backvocals] You know it keeps on ticking away (Time won't wait for you) Keeps on ticking away La-la-la-lah, la-la-lah la-lah La-la-lah la-lah, la-lah Time it keeps on ticking away (Time won't wait for you) Keeps on ticking away Time won't wait for you, won't wait for you Oh, won't wait for you, no, can't stop
