Song Lyrics

[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)
