Tick Tock
Tick Tock
It always seems to be this way
my relationships just don’t last
time seems to be runnin’ out
and my clock is tickin’ fast
I’ve been reckless with the quickies
I’ve played the mistress too
what’s a single mom past thirty
want a man to do
I want someone to cherish me
caress me with respect
not always tryin’ to figure out
how to put my mind in check
Forget the empty promises
I deserve a committin’ man
don’t fly by here to see me
if you don’t intend to land
I’ve got a lot of love to give
perhaps I give too much
just to feel companionship
from a good man’s mental touch
Maybe it’s time to end the search
stop givin’out my heart
turn a deaf ear to the tick
and trust God – as a start
