Tickin' Bomb Lyrics

Well, I don't know you
But I know of you
And from what I know
I think I love you

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You make me feel like
I'm sittin' right beside you
If we ever met
there's just no tellin' what I might do

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Play my song
All night long
I'll be a tickin' bomb
'Til you play it, oh

Well, all bottled up
A beggin' dog with my tongue out
I'm in my shell
and only you can make me come out

Yeah, oh, oh, mmmm

Well, play my song
All night long
I'll be a tickin' bomb
Tickin' all night long

Well, play my song
All night long
I'll be a tickin' bomb
Tickin' all night long

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
