It's about time you made a choice of when you're coming over
I asked you a long time ago, but still there's no word
Of when you'll leave your friends for me
In the itinerary there's a thousand places we could be
(one thousand places we could be)

Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Paris, France (Paris, France) or Columbus, Ohio
Australia, London, Tokyo (Tokyo) but still you say no!
I don't care, but need to know when you'll join me out on the road
What will it take for you to go, (what will it take for you to go)

(You know I try) You're not tryin'
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin'
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But you just keep sleeping
You keep sleeping
(you're not trying)

It's about time you came to me (it's about time you came to me) I'm always flying to you
One last shot I can try to do, out of desperation!
Send an airline ticket to your home (to your home to your mama and papa)
But you probably won't show, waiting at JFK with little hope (now you know it)

(You know I try) You're not tryin'
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin'
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But, you just keep sleeping
