Time (Clock of the Heart) Lyrics
Don't put your head on my shoulder
Sink me in a river of tears
This could be the best place yet
But you must overcome your fears
Ooh in time it could have been so much more
The time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show
Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
They've got nothing but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time
(Time, Time, Time...)
Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart
Touch we touch was the heat too much
I felt I lost you from the start
Ooh, in time it could have been so much more
The time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show
Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
They've got nothing but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time
(Time, Time, Time...)
Ooh, in time it could have been so much more
The time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show
Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
They've got nothing but time
And you know time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
They've got nothing but time
And you know time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
[Fade out]
Meaning of Time (Clock of the Heart)
“Time (Clock of the Heart)” is a poignant lament about lost love and regret, drenched in melancholy. Culture Club’s Mike Baduk explores the frustrating feeling that time itself is a cruel thief, stealing precious moments and leaving lovers with an empty sense of connection. The repeated refrain – “time won't give me time” – embodies this agonizing realization; it suggests a desperate yearning for a deeper, more fulfilling relationship that ultimately vanished. The lyrics paint a picture of intense emotion quickly fading, symbolized by the “river of tears” and the feeling of losing someone “from the start.” Despite recognizing the potential for something genuine, the song conveys a sense of helplessness, as time relentlessly marches on, offering only an accumulation of nothing but wasted moments – a stark reminder that some loves simply run out of time.
