Hey, time won't wait for you

Keeps on ticking away

Burning up every day

Ooh, time won't wait for you

Keeps on ticking away

Burning up every day

She was sleeping at the bus stop

Heaven away

But her magic in her blue eyes

Told me she had left a daze

(Left a daze)

So I have to check her wisdom

And there was no doubt

I told her I was sitting alone and on crestfallen

Future's gonna catch me out

She said, "time won't wait for you

So do all the things you wanted to

Better hurry up, take it in your stride

And use your resolution which you've been supplied"

"And love won't change you, boy, it's true

I can tell you till my face is blue

Every second screams, listen to your dreams

Ooh, 'cause you just can't stop the pop"

On a brick wall I was banging over my head

But the sweet rings on my feet now

Where once they were made of lead

(Sweet rings on my feet now)

Do you hear the message in the music, I hear it too

You know, you got your history in the making

Slowing down won't get you through, no, no

Time won't wait for you

So do all the things you wanted to

Better hurry up, take it in your stride

Use your resolution which you've been supplied

And love won't change you, boy, it's true

I can tell you till my face is blue

Every second screams, listen to your dreams

'cause you just can't stop the pop

Time won't wait for you

Keeps on ticking away

Burning up every day

Time won't wait for you

Keeps on ticking away

Burning up every day

It keeps on

(It keeps on)

You know that it keeps on

You know that it keeps on

(It keeps on)

It keeps on ticking, yeah

It keeps on

(It keeps on)

You know that it keeps on

You know it keeps on

Keeps on ticking, baby

Time won't wait for you

So do all the things you wanted to

You better hurry up hey take it in your stride

Use your resolution which you've been supplied

Love won't change you, boy, it's true

I can tell you till my face is blue

Every second screams, listen to your dreams

Oh, 'cause you just can't stop the pop

You know that it keeps on ticking away

Keeps on ticking away

(Time won't wait for you)

Time it keeps on ticking away

Keeps on ticking away

Time won't wait for you

Won't wait for you

Oh, won't wait for you, no

Can't stop
