How many of you people out there been hurt in some kind of love affair? And how many times do you swear that you'll 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 you've been thinking of all day Why don't we turn the clock to zero, honey? I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock all the way back I wonder if she'll take me back I'm thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero, sister You'll never know how much I missed her I'm starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero, boss The river's wide, we'll swim across Started up a brand new day It could happen to you, just like it happened to me There's simply no immunity, there's 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 don't we turn the clock to zero, honey? I’ll sell the stock, we’ll spend all the money We’re starting up a brand new day (brand new day) Turn the clock to zero, Mac I'm begging her to take me back I’m thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero, boss The river’s wide, we’ll swim across Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero, buddy Don’t wanna be no fuddy-duddy We're starting up a brand new day I'm the rhythm in your tune I'm the sun and you're the moon I'm a bat and you're the cave You're the beach and I'm a wave I’m the plow and you’re the land You're the glove and I'm the hand I'm the train and you're the station I'm a flagpole to your nation Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Stand up Stand up I’m the present to your future You’re the wound and I’m the suture You’re the magnet to my pole I’m the devil in your soul (stand up) You’re the pupil, I’m the teacher You’re the church and I’m the preacher (it's a brand new day) You’re the flower, I’m the rain You’re the tunnel, I’m the train Stand up all you lovers in the world, yeah (It's a brand new day) Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl Stand up all you lovers in the world, yeah yeah (It's a brand new day) Starting up a brand new day Stand up
