Time (Clock of the Heart)

Culture Club • Kissing to Be Clever (1982)

Don't put your head on my shoulder
Sink me in a river of tears
This could be the best place yet
But you must overcome your fears

Ooh, in time it could have been so much more
But time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
But time has nothing to show

Because
Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me
We know they've got
Nothing but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time

Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart
Touch, we touch
Was the heat too much?
I felt I lost you from the start

Ooh, in time it could have been so much more
But time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
But time has nothing to show

Because
Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me
We know they've got
Nothing but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time

Ooh, in time it could have been so much more
But time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
But time has nothing to show

Because
Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me
We know they've got
Nothing but time

And you know
Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me
We know they've got
Nothing but time

And you know
Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me
We know they've got
Nothing but time
