Tick Tock Lyrics

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 slippin' 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

 Lets 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!
