Pledging My Love / The Clock (Single B-Side)
Forever, my darling
Our love will be true
Always and forever
I'll love only you
Just promise me, darling
Your love in return
Make this fire in my soul, dear
Forever burn
My heart's at your command, dear
To keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire, dear
Keeping you is everything of my goal
And I'll forever, ever, ever love you
The rest of my days
I'm not gonna, not gonna part from you
On your loving ways
I looked at the face of the clock on the wall
But it doesn't tell me
It takes time but it doesn't tell me nothing at all
Face of the clock just stares at me, yeah
It knows I'm lonely, how I am, and how I always will be
I want to cry, cry my heart out
I want my baby back with me
There's nothing but time to give out
Time doesn't mean anything to me
Oh, if you hear me, come on back real soon, baby
Because this clock and I, oh, yeah, we're so lonely in this room
Oh, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room
When I get at night, baby, so lonely in this room
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Our love will be true
Always and forever
I'll love only you
Just promise me, darling
Your love in return
Make this fire in my soul, dear
Forever burn
My heart's at your command, dear
To keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire, dear
Keeping you is everything of my goal
And I'll forever, ever, ever love you
The rest of my days
I'm not gonna, not gonna part from you
On your loving ways
I looked at the face of the clock on the wall
But it doesn't tell me
It takes time but it doesn't tell me nothing at all
Face of the clock just stares at me, yeah
It knows I'm lonely, how I am, and how I always will be
I want to cry, cry my heart out
I want my baby back with me
There's nothing but time to give out
Time doesn't mean anything to me
Oh, if you hear me, come on back real soon, baby
Because this clock and I, oh, yeah, we're so lonely in this room
Oh, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room
When I get at night, baby, so lonely in this room
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
