How many of you people out there
|
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
|
And how many times did you swear
|
That you'd never love again?
|
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
|
How many lies, how many fights?
|
And why would you want to
|
Put yourself through all of that again?
|
|
"Love is pain," I hear you say
|
Love has a cruel and bitter way of
|
Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
|
How could it be that what you need the most
|
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
|
You never want to feel so sad and lost again
|
|
One day you could be looking
|
Through an old book in rainy weather
|
You see a picture of her smiling at you
|
When you were still together
|
Or you could be walking down the street
|
And who should you chance to meet
|
But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day?
|
|
Why don't we turn the clock to zero, honey
|
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
|
We're starting up a brand new day
|
Turn the clock all the way back
|
I wonder if she'll take me back
|
I'm thinking in a brand new way
|
|
Turn the clock to zero, sister
|
You'll never know how much I missed her
|
I'm starting up a brand new day
|
Turn the clock to zero, boss
|
The river's wide, we'll swim across
|
We're starting up a brand new day
|
|
It could happen to you,
|
Just like it happened to me,
|
There's simply no immunity
|
There's no guarantee.
|
I say love's such a force if you find yourself in it
|
You need some time for reflection
|
You say, baby wait a minute, wait a minute
|
Wait a minute, wait a minute
|
Wait a minute, wait a minute
|
|
Turn the clock to zero, honey
|
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
|
We're starting up a brand new day
|
Turn the clock to zero, Mac
|
I'm begging her to take me back
|
I'm thinking in a brand new way
|
|
Turn the clock to zero, boss
|
The river's wide, we'll swim across
|
We're starting up a brand new day
|
Turn the clock to zero buddy
|
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy
|
Started up a brand new day
|
|
I'm the rhythm in your tune
|
I'm the sun and you're the moon
|
I'm the bat and you're the cave
|
You're the beach and I'm the wave
|
I'm the plow and you're the land
|
You're the glove and I'm the hand
|
I'm the train and you're the station
|
I'm a flagpole to your nation - yeah
|
|
Stand up all you lovers in the world
|
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
|
Stand up all you lovers in the world
|
Starting up a brand new day
|
|
I'm the present to your future
|
You're the wound and I'm the suture
|
You're the magnet to my pole
|
I'm the devil in your soul
|
You're the pupil I'm the teacher
|
You're the church and I'm the preacher
|
You're the flower I'm the rain
|
You're the tunnel I'm the train
|
|
Stand up all you lovers in the world
|
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
|
Stand up all you lovers in the world
|
Starting up a brand new day
|
|
You're the crop to my rotation
|
You're the sum of my equation
|
I'm the answer to your question
|
If you follow my suggestion
|
We can turn this ship around
|
We'll go up instead of down
|
You're the pan and I'm the handle
|
You're the flame and I'm the candle
|
|
Stand up all you lovers in the world
|
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
|
Stand up all you lovers in the world
|
We're starting up a brand new day
|
