time's up (alone tonight) [#][*]
[Chorus] Time's up! 'Cause I'd rather be alone tonight Time's up! I want to go home tonight Time's up! 'Cause I need to be alone tonight Time's up!  All mad, you sat in your room And the clock kept ticking on (The clock kept ticking on) I had nothing to say with a smile (I had nothing to say) And if once, twice, let me think of myself All I ever do is think of you (All ever do is think of you) Stand back and let me breathe for a while (Stand back) And let me think  Time's up! Back on the shelf And the time reminds me things ain't going right (I think I know the time's up) So, I want to go home, 'cause I'd rather be alone tonight Time's up for us and I tell myself That things aren't going right, no (I'd better be leaving tonight)  I want to go home, 'cause I'd rather be alone tonight Well, looking so soft (So soft), stay strong (Stay strong) Because I'm tied to you mentally But on the bad nights, the mood's a miss by a mile (Mood's a miss) So, it's left (Left), right (Right),  Got a woman in and out of your life (In and out of your life) Step back and let me breathe for a while (Stand back) And let me breathe  Time's up! Back on the shelf And the time reminds me things ain't going right (I think I know the time's up) So, I want to go home, 'cause I'd rather be alone tonight Time's up for us and I tell myself That things aren't going right, no (I'd better be leaving tonight)  Ah, gotta go home tonight!  Time's up! 'Cause I'd rather be alone tonight Time's up! I want to go home tonight Time's up! 'Cause I need to be alone tonight Time's up!  Time's up! Back on the shelf And the time reminds me things ain't going right (I think I know the time's up) So, I want to go home, 'cause I'd rather be alone tonight Time's up for us and I tell myself That things aren't going right, no (I'd better be leaving tonight)
