Why must the band keep on playing? I know
what my friends are all saying
They've been playing our song
the whole night long, yeah
And I'm over here, I'm just hiding a tear
And there's somebody
new dancing with you
Why must my love be forsaken?
Oh, how my poor heart is breaking
While they're playing our song
You've been doing me wrong
Making a fool out of me
And my friends all can see
That there's somebody new
Dancing with you
Tick -a -tock -a -tick -a -a -tick -a -tock
Nights are made for kissing
And nights are made for love
But my life's all just filled with tear -ups
Since you gone
Whoa -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Yeah, oh, how I keep on afraid
Tick -a -tock, tick -tock,
That somehow the band
would stop playin'
Tick -a -tock, tick -tock,
They keep playin' our song
Playin' it right along
And it just drives me wild
Every time I see you smile
And that's somebody dancing with you
