Salt-N-Pepa - The Clock Is Tickin lyrics

[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
