lyrics

I don't mean a thing when I say what I said
I don't mean a thing
And I try to sing but it comes out wrong
when I sing my songs
And what's in my head before I go to bed
Is this:

"Don't you know you're gonna die?
Someday it's true - it'll happen to me and you
And don't you think your heart will sink
or stop?"
We're all fighting the clock
just fighting the clock

I don't mean a thing it's true
I don't mean a thing.... That's all
And don't you know; I don't know
It's true I just don't know

'Cause all I think about
It's all I think about
Is all I think about
It's all I think about

Is fighting the clock
Fighting the clock
