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 to 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

Baby, and that's me, yes

They say Rome wasn't built in a day
But hey, they've got nothing on the patience
That it's taken me to wait

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 to 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
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 Gonna smile in front of my face and tell me something
Something worth talking about
And tell me that you love me
Tell me you're gonna be a man
And show up from 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 make me believe
(Take me where I wanna be)
Make me believe that
(Four and twenty hours)
You're the man for me, baby

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
