He left a hole in the wall You ask, "Did he call?" Tonight, tonight Honestly, honestly "Tonight, today?" The chair at his table was unavailable With time to waste, you savored the taste Honestly, honestly You gotta shake the hands of time Don't be the shadow that falls behind You gotta shake the hands of time Get that jerk off your mind Your wild hair against the wall "Did anyone call? Tonight, tonight?" Honestly, honestly There's no money in boyfriends Look ahead, don't look back You gotta shake him off your back Just shake the hands of time C'mon, girl, get him off your mind
Take it from me, I do it all the time Off my mind Don't hover in your covers Turn on the heater tonight, tonight Honestly, honestly "Tonight, today?" Drive on a freeway, get yourself on a plane Forget the man, forget his name Little sister, my little sister Just shake the hands of time C'mon, girl, get him off your mind Take it from me, I do it all the time You gotta shake the hands of time, shake It just makes me want to spit To think of you, you and him Don't be the shadow that falls behind Get that jerk off your mind
