[Intro]
Mm
Mhm
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been holding on
For way too long
It can't go on
[Chorus]
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 (Hours)
[Post-Chorus]
And that's me
Mhm, baby
That's me, yes
(Mm, mm)
[Verse 2]
They say Rome wasn't built
In a day, but, hey
They've got nothing on the patience
That is taking 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
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been holding on (I've been holding on)
For way too long (It's been too long)
Either you're in or you're out
[Chorus]
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 (Hours)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, and that's me, yeah
Yeah, hey (Mm)
[Bridge]
(Time) See, every day, I
(Time) I walk out of my front door
(Waits) And I'll be wishin' and hopin'
(For no man) That today is the day that you're gonna
(Time) You're gonna smile in front of my face and tell me something
(Time) Something worth talking about
(Waits) And tell me that you love me
(For no man) Tell me you're gonna be a man
[Chorus]
And show up for me, baby
You've got one day, yeah
I will give you twenty-four hours, baby (Four and twenty)
That's all you should need, na, na (Hours)
Ooh (Four and twenty)
Four and twenty hours should be (Hours)
Should be enough for you, love (Four and twenty)
(Hours)
To make me believe, yeah
(Take me where I wanna be)
Make me believe that you're the man for me (Four and twenty)
Baby (Hours)
[Outro]
Oh, yeah
I gotta believe you, baby
Mhm
I'm gonna need more than flowers, honey child
(Four and twenty)
Ooh (Hours)
And more than talk, I'm telling you (Four and twenty)
Ooh, four and twenty hours, baby (Hours)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Four and twenty)
Yeah, yeah (Hours)
Four and twenty hours should be
It should be more than enough for you, you
