I gotta leave again

I don't wanna go

Things can be so lonely on the road

Could be the presidential suite

But nothing's ever like your bed at home

Especially when you're away from the one you love

It gets tough

Even though it hurts when I'm off at work

Looking at her picture soothes my pain

And for a moment I, find myself right back at home again

I remember, through the ups and downs of my day

I can say, my baby will be

[Chorus]

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for me

While the time goes tick tock tick tock

My baby will be

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for me

While the time goes tick tock tick tock

She's gotta leave again

She don't wanna go

Hates to be away from me so long

She calls me everyday but

She can't kiss her baby on the phone

When we're hanging up

The tears start rolling down

But somehow oh

Even though she cries

She can find her smile

Cos she knows with me her heart is safe

Funny how time away, makes a loving heart grow fond again

She remembers, through the ups and downs of her day

She can say, oh that I'll be...

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for her

While the time goes tick tock tick tock

Her baby will be

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for her

While the time goes tick tock tick tock

Oh, we remember, through the ups and downs of our days

We can say, oh that we'll be

[Chorus x2]

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for love

While the time goes tick tock tick tock

Oh we will be

Sitting, waiting, longing, holding on for love

While the time goes tick tock tick tock
