They say time waits for no man and neither, does this woman
I've been trying hard to understand, what it be
Many moons [bad word] and gone, and this little heart's still holding on
To what 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

They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but hey
They got nothing on the patience that is,taking 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 can't go on
Either you're in or you're out

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, whooah
And that's me

See every day
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're gonna smile in front of my face and tell me something
Something worth talking about
Tell me that you love me
Tell me you're gonna be a man
And show up for me baby

You got one day, yah I'm gonna give you twenty four hours baby
That's all you should need
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Four and twenty hours)
Should be enough for you love
(Four and twenty hours)
To make me believe
(Four and twenty hours)
Make me believe that you're the man for me baby
(Four and twenty hours)
Oooh, yeah
I gotta believe you baby,
I'm gonna need more than flowers honey child
(Four and twenty hours)
It's more than talk I'm telling you
(Four and twenty hours)
Four and twenty hours
(Four and twenty hours)
should be
It should be more than enough for you
