Eight o'clock I wake up
You didn't come to bed
I go downstairs
Try to keep my head together
At ten thirty
Look at my watch
I wonder darling
La
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
Twelve o'clock I'm really
Going out of my head
I've got ideas running round my brain
Can't go on this way
No work
Can't eat
And I do not really sleep
When I close my eyes
I hold identity parades
For the face that stole your heart
La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
What time will you come back baby
Four a.m. I'll be here
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
You're my candy God
How you sweet talk me
You're my fantasy
Six is not too early
To come back to me baby
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
Oh
La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
Oh
La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
Oh
La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
