The alarm clock's buzzin', and I'm thinkin' wasn't it 

Just a minute ago

Since you and me lover 

Climbed under the covers, now it's already time to go 



'Cause we're under the gun, there's things to be done 

Places we gotta be. I'm wishin' instead, I could stay in bed 

With you cuddled close to me 



Chorus:

We're long on love, but short on time 

We may get another penny ahead, but our hearts fall further behind 

Wish I had a few more hours in the day, 

Or I could make this clock unwind 

'Cause we're long on love, but short on time 



The coffee's perkin', and soon we'll be workin' 

Watchin' that clock on the wall, trying to hurry every minute 

For the work day to finish, and the five o'clock hammer to fall 



About a quarter after five, we'll be pullin' in the drive 

And pullin' down a curtain or two, and turnin' off the phone 

'Cause some overtime at home has been way overdue 



Repeat Chorus 



'Cause we're long on love, but short on time 

'Cause we're long on love, but short on time
