[Intro]

One, two, three

Oh no, was it worth it?

[Verse 1]

Starting now, I'm starting over

I'm gonna sleep

With the next person I meet

Starting now, I'm starting over

You swore, "Together forever"

Now you're tellin' lies

Well, tell me your words

They got no, they got no concept of time

[Chorus]

Tick-tock, you're not a clock

You're a time bomb, baby, a time bomb, baby, oh

Tick-tock, you're not a clock

You're a time bomb, baby, a time—, uh, uh, oh

[Post-Chorus]

Oh no, was it worth it?

Was it worth what you did to big business?

Was it worth, was it worth

What your friends put up their noses?

[Verse 2]

So starting now, I'm starting over (Stop it)

Tell the new-wave kids their makeup kits can find me where

Self-pity gets a breath of fresh air

[Chorus]

Tick-tock, you're not a clock

You're a time bomb, baby, a time bomb, baby, oh

Tick-tock, you're not a clock

You're a time bomb, baby, a time—, uh, uh, oh

You set the watch, you're just in time

To wreck my life, to bring back what I left behind

Tick-tock, you're not a clock

You're a time bomb, baby, a time bomb, baby

A time bomb, baby, a time—, uh, uh, oh

[Bridge]

Five years and you fell for a waiter

I'm sure he said, well, he's an actor

You're acting like

(You never tried to take your life)

So starting now, I'm starting over

I'll throw the bottles out, I'm taking showers

I'm going to sleep

I'm going to sleep

[Verse 4]

So starting now, I'm starting over (Stop it)

I'm starting now, I'm starting over (Stop it)

To play the game

Get even, act my age

[Chorus]

Tick-tock (Aah), you're not a clock

You're a time bomb, baby, a time bomb, baby, oh

Tick-tock, you're not a clock

You're a time bomb, baby, a time—, uh, uh, oh

You set the watch, you're just in time

Oh, to wreck my life, to bring back what I left behind

Tick-tock, you're not a clock

You're a time bomb, baby, a time bomb, baby

A time bomb, baby, a time—, uh, uh, oh

[Outro]

(Oh no, was it worth it?)

Was it worth what you did to your wrists?
