How many of you people out there been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times do you swear that youll never love again?
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
Well, why would you want to put yourself through all that again?
Love is pain, I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way
Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again
One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet
But that same old smile youve been thinking of all day
Why dont we turn the clock to zero, honey?
Ill sell the stock, well spend all the money
Were starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if shell take me back
Im thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero, sister
Youll never know how much I missed her
Im starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The rivers wide, well swim across
Started up a brand new day
It could happen to you, just like it happened to me
Theres simply no immunity, theres no guarantee
I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it, babe
Need sometime for reflection you say
Baby, wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Why dont we turn the clock to zero, honey?
Ill sell the stock, well spend all the money
Were starting up a brand new day (brand new day)
Turn the clock to zero, Mac
Im begging her to take me back
Im thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The rivers wide, well swim across
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero, buddy
Dont wanna be no fuddy-duddy
Were starting up a brand new day
Im the rhythm in your tune
Im the sun and youre the moon
Im a bat and youre the cave
Youre the beach and Im a wave
Im the plow and youre the land
Youre the glove and Im the hand
Im the train and youre the station
Im a flagpole to your nation
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Stand up
Stand up
Im the present to your future
Youre the wound and Im the suture
Youre the magnet to my pole
Im the devil in your soul (stand up)
Youre the pupil, Im the teacher
Youre the church and Im the preacher (its a brand new day)
Youre the flower, Im the rain
Youre the tunnel, Im the train
Stand up all you lovers in the world, yeah
(Its a brand new day)
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world, yeah yeah
(Its a brand new day)
Starting up a brand new day
Stand up
