Tic Tac
Cape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Intro:

Tic tac goes the clock again
Tic tac goes the clock
Tic tac goes the clock again
Beating in my head like a big drum

Verse 1:

Everyday when you call me up
I know that you want some
But I won't give until I get - no
You've gotta learn how to take your time
You walk away satisfied
And my satisfaction you forget ' yeah
So when the lights go out
Just take it slow
We ain't got no place that we gotta go

Chorus:

'Cause we got all the time in the world
We got all the time in the world
So/now don't you rush it (babe)
everytime you touch it (yeah)
We got all the time in the world

Verse 2:

So when you learn how to treat me right
You're gonna get it every night
Just you remember what I said
You gotta learn how to take your time
and walk away satisfied
my satisfaction you forget
So when the lights go out
Just take it slow
We aint got no place that we gotta go

Chorus:

Bridge:

Tic tac goes the clock again
Beating in my head like a big drum
You're too fast I want it to last
But you can never relax when you give me some
Now what's that is it time to quit again
Tell me how it was when you wake up
Oh no here we go again
You better chill out cause I had enough
So when the lights go out
Just take it slow
We aint got no place that we gotta go





Chorus out'.

The chorus reinforces the idea that there is no need to rush, as they have all the time in the world.
