Let Me Be the Clock
[Intro]
Ooh, hoo, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Let me be the clock
For the time of your life, oh, yeah
Let me be the pendulum
That strikes your chime for the first time
[Verse 1]
I'm a cuckoo, I know
Counting hours till we will be together
When the door to my heart will open
It's for sure that I will be hoping
Hoping that you will
[Chorus]
Let me be the clock
For the time of your life, oh, yeah, baby
Oh, yeah, babe
And let me be the pendulum
That strikes your chime for the first time
Let it begin
'Cause every moment we're apart
Is some good feeling wasted
A good feeling deep down inside me, told me
A good time for me to try to get you to hold me
Is right here and now
[Chorus]
So let me be the clock for the time of your life
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, baby
And let me be the pendulum
That strikes your chime for the first time
For the first time
I wanna be your pendulum, baby
Striking your chime
Hickory dickory dock
I want to be your clock
Just set me for lifetime
And I'll wake you up every morning
[Chorus]
Woo, woo, ooh, let me
Let me be the clock for the time of your life
For the time of your life
Let me be the pendulum striking your chime
For the first time and every time after that
Cause I know where it's at
So let me, let me, let me, let me
Let me, let me, baby, ooh, ooh
Let me be the pendulum striking your chime
For the first time, for the first time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Strike your chime one time, baby
Strike your chime one time
Let me be the pendulum striking your chime
For the first time
Let me be the clock for the time of your life, oh, yeah
And let me be the pendulum who's striking your chime
For the first time and every time after that
Cause I know where it's at
So let me, let me, let me, let me
Let me, let me, baby, ooh, ooh
Let me be the pendulum striking your chime
