Tick Tock

with him on her mind
can't seem to leave the past behind
She puts on her make-up
and thinks about life
and wonders if she's running out of time
Cos how long until she finds the one
all the things she's been dreamin' of
She hears the tick tock
of her biological clock
going around and round
and it's never going to stop
she sees all her friends
are having kids and getting married
but, her life's, her own
she says there are moments
her confidence wains
Sunday afternoons and Christmas days
but she's a career girl
who knows her own mind
she's not prepared to make a compromise
but how long until she finds the one
all the things she's been dreamin' of
She hears the tick tock
of her biological clock
going around and round
and it's never going to stop
She sees all her friends
are having kids and getting married
but, her life's, her own
Tick tock of her biological clock
going around and round
and it's never going to stop
and she sees all her friends
are having kids and getting
Tick-tock of her biological clock
going around and round
and it's never going to stop
and she sees all her friends
are having kids and getting married
