Can't Believe It's True

Can't believe it's true
I can't believe it's true
Baby, where are you?
Baby, where are you?
In the night I'm walking in my sleep
A lonely man who just can't get no peace
Oh how I wish I just could see your face
And then I would walk the floor pace by pace
Clock on the wall
Why do you bother to chime at all
Clock on the wall
Why does this have to happen at all
In the day I'm walking on the street
Hear the sound, steps walking after me
That's just trouble, follow with me about
And that is one thing I can't do without
Clock on the wall
Why do you bother to chime at all
Spot on the wall
Did I really see it moving at all
Can't believe it's true
I can't believe it's true
I wonder where are you
I wonder where are you
And in the night I'm talking in my sleep
The things I say I just, just can't repeat
Don't need no fingerprints to know
You've got your hands on my very soul
Clock on the wall
Why do you bother to chime at all
Clock on the wall
Why does this have to happen at all
I can't believe it's true
Baby, where are you?
Baby, where are you?
In the night I'm walking in my sleep
A lonely man who just can't get no peace
Oh how I wish I just could see your face
And then I would walk the floor pace by pace
Clock on the wall
Why do you bother to chime at all
Clock on the wall
Why does this have to happen at all
In the day I'm walking on the street
Hear the sound, steps walking after me
That's just trouble, follow with me about
And that is one thing I can't do without
Clock on the wall
Why do you bother to chime at all
Spot on the wall
Did I really see it moving at all
Can't believe it's true
I can't believe it's true
I wonder where are you
I wonder where are you
And in the night I'm talking in my sleep
The things I say I just, just can't repeat
Don't need no fingerprints to know
You've got your hands on my very soul
Clock on the wall
Why do you bother to chime at all
Clock on the wall
Why does this have to happen at all
