(McCartney/MacManus) 

I have always needed somebody, girl 

But I close the doors to keep out the world 

But for you 

I would be here all alone 

Locked in a photograph 



All of the clocks have run down 

Lover beware 

We'll be the lovers that never were 



I hang patiently on every word you send 

Will we ever be much more than just friends? 

As for you 

You sit there playing this game 

You keep me waiting 



When all of the clocks have run down 

All over the world 

We'll be the lovers that never were 



For as long as the sun shines 

In somebody's eyes 

I believe in you, baby 

So don't tell me lies 

For as long as the trees 

Throw down blossoms and leaves 

I know there will be 

A parade of unpainted dreams 



And I know, dear 

How much it's going to hurt 

If you still refuse to get your hands dirty 

So you 

You must tell me something...I love you 

Say goodbye or anything 



All of the clocks have run down 

Time's at an end 

If we can't be lovers we'll never be friends 



For as long as the sun shines 

In somebody's eyes 

I believe in you, baby 

So don't tell me lies 

For as long as the trees 

Throw down blossoms and leaves 

I know there will be 

A parade of unpainted dreams
