Hello darling, I've been calling you
Your battery's on the blink again
I'm sitting here knee deep in peak hour traffic and...
It's getting worse
Don't forget to check the microwave
Your dinner's hot, the cat's been fed
The milk is off; you might need to go to the store
Yes, I know that all sounds boring, but...
I won't be home tonight
Don't wait up for me
I'll be staying at a girlfriend's out of town
Don't try to call me there
'Cause I'm gonna need
Some time to think and time to settle down
I guess you're sleeping as its 4am,
The world is in a coma
And I'm not used to sleeping in a single bed
And I can't get warm
I've got this picture of the two of you
It lingers like a strange perfume
Clings around the edges of my vanity
Babe, you know it's k**ing me
I won't be home tonight
Don't wait up for me
I'll be staying at a girlfriend's out of town
No, don't try to call me there
'Cause I'm gonna need
Some time to think and time to settle down.
Time
I'm gonna need
Some time to think and time to settle down
Time
I'm gonna need some time
Time to think and time to settle down
Some dog is wakin' up the neighbourhood
And it sh**s me that it's half past nine
I haven't even showered and I'm late again
Oh, how middle cla**.
Perhaps we'll meet for lunch, and we'll have a chat
And then you'll quick placate me
And remind me why I ever fell in love with you
Maybe we'll start anew
Time
I need some time
Time, time to think and time to settle down
Time
Oh, I need some time
Yes, time to think and time to settle down
I won't be home tonight
Don't wait up for me
I'll be staying at a girlfriend's out of town
No, don't try to call me there
'Cause I'm gonna need
Some time to think and time to settle down.
I won't be home tonight
Don't wait up for me
I'll be staying at a girlfriend's out of town
No, DON'T try to call me there
'Cause I'm gonna need
Some time to think and time to settle down.
