There's no tick tock on your electric clock

But still your life runs down

But still your life runs down

I'm halfway to heaven and my home in Forest Hills

It's halfpast eleven

I've got some time to kill

I missed my bus connection my train got in too late

And I'm forced into reflection by this half hour wait

Now I have been a straight man and I've played it by the rules

I been a good man a good husband a good old fashioned fool

I have a fine wife and two children just like everybody's got

But after fifteen years of marriage the fires don't burn too hot

Ahhhh someone played a trick on me
啊 有人对我开了个玩笑
They set me up so perfectly

They Gave me their morality

Someone must be laughing now

Though it don't seem funny somehow

Don't you touch those bad girls so I never had girls

Until I had my Mary when we married

My life as a lover was already done

They sent this little girl to me

She is my new secretary

Yeah She's a nice girl but it's a young world

And she lives her life so free and she sure gets through to me

She brings her pad into my office she wears a sweater and a skirt

And somewhere deep inside of me something starts to hurt
我内心深处 有什么在隐隐作痛
She's wearing nothing underneath
她里面什么都没穿
I can see what's there to see
若隐若现尽收眼底
She smiles and says "You wanted me " I'd have to agree

You know how much I want her

And I know that I could have her

Make love to me so wonderfully
与我共赴巫山 那般美妙绝伦
God damn I'm one crazy mixed up mixture of a man
天啊 我真是个矛盾纠结的疯子
In my head all my life I've been a sinner
在脑海中 我一生都是罪人
And in my bed with just my wife I'm still a beginner
而在婚床上 面对发妻却仍像个生手
But tomorrow night I'm taking that little girl out to dinner
但明晚我要带那个小姑娘共进晚餐
There's no tick tock on your electric clock

But still your life runs down

I was
