You askin′ questions about how I'm feelin′...*
And I know it's hard for you, the way that I'm feelin′...
And I know it′s hurtin' you, but it′s what I gotta do...
I can't be the man I was, right now there can′t be no us...
And I know the situation may not deal...
But a man can't help the way a man gon′ feel...
And I don't wanna lie to you, cause baby I would cry for you
And I would die for you... But it's gon′ be what it is...

And our clocks stop... and I don′t hear no more ticking...
When our clocks stop... all we got is wishful thinkin' cause...
I′m not saying never, but we can't be together...
It′s a quarter past our lovin' and I thinkin′ that we outta time...
And our clocks stop... and I don't hear no more ticking...
When the clocks stop... all we got is wishful thinkin' cause...
I′m not saying never, but we can′t be together...
It's a quarter past our lovin′ and I'm thinkin′ that we outta time...

I understand you wanna work things out...
But baby understand that this is not what it's about...
See baby I don′t feel the same... and I must made my feelings change
It really hurts to see you cry, I ain't gonna live no lie...
And I know we gotta keep our memories...
Baby you're running through my mind baby so constantly...
And I know it sounds crazy... and I′ll regret it later maybe...
I′m gonna miss you baby, and it's gonna be what it is...
Babygirl...

And our clocks stop... and I don′t hear no more ticking...
When our clocks stop... all we got is wishful thinkin' cause...
I′m not saying never, but we can't be together...
It′s a quarter past our lovin' and I thinkin' that we outta time...
And our clocks stop... and I don′t hear no more ticking...
When the clocks stop... all we got is wishful thinkin′ cause...
I'm not saying never, but we can′t be together...
It's a quarter past our lovin′ and I thinkin' that we outta time...

I see the clock and it′s ticking on it's way...
And I'm tryin′ hard, but I don′t know what to say...
It's a quarter past two, baby what we gonna do?
I don′t mean to sound so cold, but remember what I told you...
When our clocks stop... And I don't know what to say no more...
Clocks stop... and I′m sorry but I'm out the door...
Clocks stop... and you′re always on my mind, and it's gonna take some time...
But baby I deserve you...

And our clocks stop... and I don't hear no more ticking...
When our clocks stop... all we got is wishful thinkin′ cause...
I′m not saying never, but we can't be together...
It′s a quarter past our lovin' now, and I′m thinkin' that we outta time...
And our clocks stop... and I don′t hear no more ticking...
