Ring-a-ling-a-ling is the sound been hearin’ all night Tryin’ to call my baby up, the connection ain’t workin’ out right I got a world of suspicion rollin’ round in my brain He better come home soon, ‘cause my heart can’t stand the pain When I look at the clock and I see the time Hear a voice ringing out in the back of my mind It’s 2 a.m., do you know where your baby is? (2x)
Jumped in my car, put my foot on the floor I better find that boy soon, I can’t take this wrong direction no more My mind’s imagination, seein’ spots on the wall He’s got my fever meter runnin’, makes the Indy 500 crawl And I go to the corner where the gang hangs out And my friends my me hearing somebody shout It’s 2 a.m., do you know where your baby is? (2x)
Well he might be with the boys, but I doubt it Think somebody’s with him while I’m sitting home without him, ohh-hh!
Drivin’ down the block I hear the clock tick-tock Oh please, where can he go, somebody tell me ‘cause I don’t know Well he might be with his mother Well he might be with his brother, y’all We he might be with his sis, I can’t take it like this When I look at the clock and I see the time Hear a voice ringing out in the back of my mind It’s 2 a.m., do you know where your baby is? (2x) It’s 2 a.m., It’s 2 a.m.
