Lyrics
4 And 20
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
