Lyrics Joe Jackson – Got The Time
Text:
Wake up, got another day to
Get through now, got another man to see
Got to call him on the telephone
Got to find a piece of paper
Sit down, got another letter to write
Think I got to get a letter just right
There’s a ringing on the telephone, oh no —
Got to write a little later
No such day as tomorrow, only one two three go!
Time — got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Time — got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Time — got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Tickin’ in my head, tickin’ in my head, tickin’ in my head
If I tell you what I’m doing today
Will you shut up and get out of my way?
Someone asked me what the time is, I don’t know
Only know I gotta go now
No time: trying to get a watch repaired
No time: never got a thing to wear
Hear the ringin’ of the telephone, no no
Hear a ringin’ in my head now
No such thing as tomorrow, only one two three go!
Time — got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Time — got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Time — got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Tickin’ in my head, tickin’ in my head, tickin’ in my head
Time — got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Time — got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Time — got the time tick-tick-tickin’ in my head
Tickin’ in my head, tickin’ in my head, tickin’ in my head
