In her bedroom
In the dawn hours
Under the covers, watch the clock
Watch the second hand, Watch the sand run out
Get on her radar and claim a spot
Pick the phone up
Amanda on call waiting, stealing time and never getting caught
Amanda
Amanda morning
Amanda later as we speak
Amanda afternoon, Amanda evening
Amanda even later in the week
Always leaving
Always running
Always lining up a date
In the shower
In the mirror, the meters running, check the rate
Amanda is with her calendar
And all her messages will have to wait
Repeat Chorus
She's got an morning
She's got an afternoon
She's got an evening coming soon
But if you want the overnight
Well mister that's too bad
Cause's he's the only overnight
She's ever had
Repeat Chorus
