Joined at the hip again with him tonight

You're almost invincible aside from all the nods and smiles

But I know that you're gonna blow up

'cause you're a time bomb

All set to go off

You're a time bomb

And nothing can stop you

You're a time bomb

You're such a beautiful accessory

When you get home and you're alone

I know he's gonna see what he's dealing with

You're gonna blow up

'cause you're a time bomb

All set to go off

You're a time bomb

And nothing can stop you

You're a time bomb

Behind the door all the numbers hit zero

You might just turn cold

Or you just might explode in his face

Everyone knows what's really going on

But no one is gonna applaud you for your timing on him

Just 'cause You're gonna blow up

'cause you're a time bomb

All set to go off

You're a time bomb

And nothing can stop you

You're a time bomb
