[Chorus:]
|
|
Hurry up and change your mind
|
Don't let love make you blind
|
Well now don't read this sign
|
The clock is tickin' and you're out of time
|
And you're out of time
|
|
[Man:] You are so fat
|
[Girl:] I'm not
|
[Man:] And stupid, and baby
|
I don't know why I put up with you
|
[Girl:] Why you talk to me like that
|
[Man:] Get out of here
|
Get out of my face
|
|
[Sandra "Pepa" Denton:]
|
|
He puts you down, he calls you dumb, he calls you fat
|
You don't have to go out like that
|
It's disrespect, and you better put him in check
|
Or you'll look back on his years with regret
|
No self-esteem, that's why you cry
|
Can't live without him, hmmm, that's a lie
|
You sorry, bitter, a bad excuse for a human being
|
You know what I mean
|
Dear heart, make a new start, brand new
|
Can't nobody love you if you don't love you
|
Get wise, recognize, read the signs
|
Hurry up, cuz we're runnin' out of time
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Cheryl "Salt" James:]
|
|
He don't know how to treat you right
|
So you better learn how to treat yourself someday
|
You say he drinks and he beats you, right
|
He's gonna beat you to death so get away
|
You got kids, you got bills, you got no skills
|
You wanna take pills
|
All I can say is you can't stay, you better pray
|
God'll make the way, hey
|
Don't teach your son to grow up and beat girls
|
You gotta show your daughter there's better in this world
|
Than this, worth a twist, break the chain
|
Use your brain and say kid stop the pain
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Andrew Hellier:]
|
|
I say right, you say left
|
I say no, you say yes
|
We don't see eye-to-eye
|
Cuz you keep tellin' lies
|
You better recognize, the clock is tickin'
|
And you're out of time
|
|
[Sandra "Pepa" Denton & Cheryl "Salt" James:]
|
|
Do you know what time it is (Tell me, do you know)
|
Do you know what time it is (Tell me, do you know)
|
Do you know what time it is (Tell me, do you know)
|
Do you know what time it is (Baby, do you know)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Cheryl "Salt" James:]
|
|
She's just usin' you for your dough, your green, your loot
|
You need to give her the boot
|
She tells everybody you're a trip
|
Or the shh, and you in love, you better get a grip
|
You're a nice guy but you don't know the deal
|
You think it's real but the witch don't feel
|
If you just want kids, that's cool and that's fine
|
But get rid of her quick, or you'll be out of time
|
|
[Chorus (2x)]
|
|
[Sandra "Pepa" Denton:]
|
|
Do you know what time it is [8x]
|
|
[Andrew Hellier:]
|
|
The click is tickin' [4x]
|
And you're out of time
|
Then you're out of time
|
