4 And 20

They say time waits for no man

And neither does this woman

I've been trying hard to understand what it be

Many moons have come and gone

And this little heart's still holding on

To a 'could be maybe', 'should be, baby'

Crazy is all it's making me

I've been holding on

For way too long

It can't go on

You've got four and twenty hours

Just one day to prove to me

That your love has got the power

Make me believe

You'll take me where I wanna be

Four and twenty hours

And that's me

Mmm, baby

That's me, yes

They say Rome wasn't built in a day

But, hey, they've got nothing on the patience

That is taken me away

See the sands of the hourglass

Are slipping through your hands

Every grain has got to hurt you

Takes you further from your chance

I've been holding on

For way too long

(It's been too)

Either you're in or you're out

You've got four and twenty hours

(Twenty-four hours, one day)

Just one day to prove to me

(Show me)

That your love has got the power

Make me believe

You'll take me where I wanna be

Four and twenty hours

Oh, and that's me

See, everyday I

I walk out of my front door

And I'll be wishing and hoping

That today is the day that you're gonna

You gonna smile in front of my face and tell me something

Something worth talking about

Tell me that you love me

Tell me you gonna be a man

And show up for me, baby

You've got one day, yeah

I'm gonna give you twenty-four hours, baby

That's all you should need, nah, nah

Four and twenty hours should be

Should be enough for you, love

Just to make me believe

Make me believe that

You're the man for me, baby

Ooh, yeah

I gotta believe you, baby

I'm gonna need more than flowers, honey child

It's more than talk I'm telling you

Four and twenty hours, baby

Four and twenty hours should be

It should be more than enough for you, you
