Broken Clocks Lyrics

[00:16.92] Run fast from my day job
[00:19.04] Runnin' fast from the way it was
[00:21.14] Jump quick to a pay check
[00:23.09] Runnin' back to the strip club
[00:25.02] I'm never going back, never going back
[00:27.65] No, you can't make me
[00:29.51] Never going back, never going back (nah)
[00:31.88] They'd never take me
[00:33.78] I've paid enough of petty dues
[00:35.91] I've had enough of shitty news
[00:37.87] I've had a thing for dirty shoes since I was 10
[00:41.03] Love dirty men alike
[00:42.84] Ooh
[00:44.40] Better day than yesterday (keep cuttin' up)
[00:47.01] Ooh
[00:48.80] I just take it day by day
[00:51.49] Ooh-oh-oh
[00:52.94] Never hearing what they say
[00:55.55] Ooh-ooh
[00:57.08] I just do it my way
[00:59.41] All I got is these broken clocks
[01:02.95] I ain't got no time
[01:04.91] Just burning daylight
[01:08.15] Still love and it's still love, and it's still love
[01:11.83] It's still love, still love (still love), still love
[01:16.63] It's still love, but it's still love
[01:19.42] Nothin' but love for you (nothin' but)
[01:21.56] Nothin' but love (nothin' but)
[01:23.72] Nothin' but love
[01:25.96] All that I've got, pieces and pages
[01:30.10] Talking a lot, sorry I'm faded
[01:34.30] Think I forgot, you love me
[01:38.62] You love me
[01:40.60] You love me
[01:42.51] Got a shift at 10 AM
[01:44.72] Gotta dip at 10 PM
[01:46.82] Gotta get that cash
[01:48.19] Won't get past the lunch break
[01:50.37] I ain't had a smoke break
[01:51.81] In about two days don't break
[01:54.04] Been about three years since I dated you
[01:56.72] Why you still talking 'bout me like we together?
[01:59.26] I moved on for the better
[02:01.02] You moved on to whoever
[02:02.58] I was down for whatever and then some
[02:05.08] You gon' make me late to work again
[02:07.80] Ooh
[02:09.47] Better day than yesterday
[02:11.98] Ooh
[02:13.63] I just take it day by day
[02:16.26] Ooh-oh-oh
[02:17.99] Never hearing what they say
[02:20.53] Ooh-ooh
[02:22.13] I just do it my way
[02:24.35] All I got is these broken clocks
[02:27.88] I ain't got no time
[02:29.94] Just burning daylight
[02:33.18] Still love and it's still love, and it's still love
[02:36.75] It's still love, still love, still love (still love)
[02:41.50] It's still love, but it's still love (still love)
[02:44.38] Nothin' but love for you
[02:46.54] Nothin' but love (nothin' but)
[02:48.61] Nothin' but love
[02:49.96] I don't eat, can't sleep past 9 AM
[02:54.49] Heartbeat make me feel young again (like I feel, like I)
[02:58.80] Can't beat 'em just join the party (come and join the party)
[03:02.84] I don't wanna, don't need nobody
[03:07.84] All that I've got, pieces and pages
[03:12.09] Talking a lot, sorry, I'm faded
[03:16.20] Think I've forgot, you love me
[03:20.56] You love me
[03:22.62] You love me
[03:26.84] You love me
[03:31.23] You love me
[03:35.37] (You love me)
