Lyrics

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney, Paul McCartney & Evlis Costello, Elvis Costello] I have always needed somebody girl But I close the door to keep out the world But for you (ooh), I would be here all alone Locked in a photograph [Chorus 1: Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello] All (ooh) of the clocks have run down Lover beware We'll be the lovers that never were [Verse 2: Paul McCartney, Paul McCartney & Elvis Costello, Elvis Costello] I hang patiently on every word you send Will we ever be much more than just friends? As for you (ooh), you sit there playing this game You keep me waiting [Chorus 2: Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello] When all (ooh) of the clocks have run down All over the world We'll be the lovers that never were [Bridge: Paul McCartney & Elvis Costello, Elvis Costello] For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyes I believe in you baby, so don't tell me lies For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams [Verse 3: Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney & Elvis Costello] And I know dear, how much it's gonna hurt (oh-oh) If you still refuse to get your hands dirty So you (ooh), you must tell me something, I love you (ooh), Say goodbye or anything [Chorus 3: Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney & Elvis Costello] All (ooh) of the clocks have run down Times at an end If we can't be lovers we'll never be friends [Bridge: Paul McCartney & Elvis Costello] For as long as the sun shines in somebodys eyes I believe in you baby, so don't tell me lies For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams [Outro: Paul McCartney] (Ooh, ooh-oh..)
