Tick-Tock Girl ft. The Atomic Songbirds Lyrics

We met under neon lights, oh, what a night

I really think, babe, it was love at first sight

You said I was your dream come true

Like I was just made for you

You took me to meet your folks

We laughed at all your dad's bad jokes

Your mom said I was such a catch

Your dad poured another batch

The night was smooth, nothing to fear

Until your dad got a little too near

Then he looked me up and down

And gave a little frown.

He pulled you aside, whispered low

"Man, there's somethin' 'bout that girl you ought to know"

He pulled you aside, whispered low

"Man, there's somethin' 'bout that girl you ought to know"

I heard every word, I'm not surprised

Now you wonder what's inside

Oh darling, you won the prize, can't you see

It doesn't get any better than being with me

I've got a spark, I'm a work of art

A girl with an atomic heart

I'll love you 'til the stars burn out

(she'll love you 'til the world burn out)

Oh darling, you won the prize, can't you see

It doesn't get any better than being with me

You won the lottery, honey, it's true

Now what in the world will you do

(what do you think he'll do)

Shoo-bop-dee-wah, doo-wop

You asked me, "What's goin' on?"

Zee-zah-dee-doo, dee-dong

Like somethin' in me gone wrong

You checked my pulse, and boy, the shock

No heartbeat, just a smooth tick-tock

I smiled and said, "Well, here's the deal

I'm atomic-powered, can't you feel?"

Oh darling, you won the prize, can't you see

It doesn't get any better than being with me

You won the lottery, honey, it's true

Now what in the world will you do

Oh darling, you won the prize, can't you see

It doesn't get any better than being with me

You won the lottery, baby, you know

Now c'mon, don't you dare let me go

(don't ever let her go)
