8 [klɒk]
9[kraɪ]
10 [weɪk]
11 [laɪt]

4. If you had problems to find the words try to see if you can do it with the help of the song now:
[taɪm] goes by... so slowly
*Every little [ɵɪɳ] that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm ['taɪəd] of waiting on you
Time goes by so slowly for [ðəʊz] who wait
No time to ['hezɪteɪt]
Those who run seem to have all the fun
I'm caught up
I don't know what to do
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
I don't know what to do
* Repeat
Ring, ring, ring goes the ['telɪfəʊn]
The [laɪts] are on but there's no-one home
Tick tick tock it's a ['kwɔ:təʳ]to two
And I'm [dʌn]
I'm hangin' up on you
I can't keep on waiting for you
I know that you're still hesitating
Don't [kraɪ] for me
'cause I'll find my way
You'll [weɪk] up one day
But it'll be too late
* Repeat
* Repeat
(Fade until [klɒk] ticking)
