[Verse 1]
How many of you people out there been
hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times do you swear
that you'll never love again?
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
Well, why would you want to
put yourself through all that again?
＂Love is pain,＂ I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way
Of paying you back for all the faith
you ever had in your brain
How could it be that
what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to
feel so sad and lost again
One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet
But that same old smile
you've been thinking of all day
[Chorus]
Why don't we turn the
clock to zero, honey?
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
I'm starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day
[Verse 2]
It could happen to you
just like it happened to me
There's simply no immunity
there's no guarantee
I say love's such a force
if you find yourself in it, babe
Need sometime for reflection you say
Baby, wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
[Chorus]
Why don't we turn the
clock to zero, honey?
I'll sell the stock
we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero, Mac
I'm begging her to take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero, buddy
Don't wanna be no fuddy-duddy
We're starting up a brand new day
I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm a bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm a wave
I'm the plow and you're the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm a flagpole to your nation, yeah
I'm the present to your future
You're the wound and I'm the suture
You're the magnet to my pole
I'm the devil in your soul
You're the pupil, I'm the teacher
You're the church and I'm the preacher
You're the flower, I'm the rain
You're the tunnel, I'm the train
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted
every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day
[Outro]
Stand up
