Time Is Ticking Away
Mr. John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some promises are made
You discovered my real style
Don′t leave me now
I know I can't you satisfied (x3)

Come baby, come I wanna with you
Kind of life, I can′t see through you
Check out your life, come ticky ticky rock
Come and shake that rock
Get me up, get me up, so I wanna get a ride
Gimmy gimmy everything, but take me high
Get me up, get me up, gonna take you high, hey

Time is ticking away now
Thinking about you
Waiting for your love
Time is ticking away now
Thinking about you
Waiting for your love

I can't missing you
You're in the day
I can′t wait another minute
I can′t missing you
You're in the day
I can′t wait another minute

Damn, I'm jam to the break it dong
Got to do it right, got to keep it on
And boom check it boom check it boom, boom, boom
Got to keep it right, got to make me on
Ring ding ding-a-ling, ding ding-a-dong
Go to do it right to the break it dong
Go to do it right to do it long

I can′t missing you




You're in the day
I can′t wait another minute

Overall Meaning

The song "Time Is Ticking Away" by Mr. John is a powerful declaration of love by the singer to his lover. In the opening lines of the song, the singer talks about the promises that he has made and how his lover has discovered his real style. He pleads with her not to leave him now, even though he knows that he can't satisfy her. He wants her to come to him, so they can experience a life that he can't see through her. He wants her to come and shake that rock and take him high.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes more urgent in his pleas to his lover. He talks about how time is ticking away and how he is thinking about her and waiting for her love. He doesn't want to miss her anymore and can't wait another minute to be with her. The chorus repeats again and again, emphasizing the importance of time and the desperation of the singer to be with his lover.


The final verses of the song are a call to action for the singer. He wants to jam to the break it down and do it right. He wants to keep it on, to make it right, and to make himself shine. But all of this is meaningless without his lover. He can't wait another minute, he can't miss her anymore, and he needs her to be by his side.
