how come twenty four hours
baby sometimes seem to slip into day
oh twenty-four hours
baby sometimes seem to slip into day
when a minute seems like a lifetime
ooh baby when I feel this way

sittin lookin at the clock
oh time moves so slow
I've been watchin for the hands to move
until i just can't look no more

how come twenty four hours
baby sometimes slip into day
a minute seems like a life time
baby when I feel this way

to sing a song for you
I recall you used to say
oh baby this one's for me to <=- what people have told me, though
Which in the end is you anyway I'm not convinced.

how come twenty four hours
baby sometimes slip into way
a minute seems like a lifetime
oh baby when I feel this way

there was a time that I stood tall
in the eyes of other men
-but mama aren't you as a I left you woman <-We dunno which
-But by my own choice I left you <------- one it is.
and now I can't get back again

how come twenty-four hours
sometimes slip into day

well well well
a minute seems like a lifetime
baby when I feel this way
a minute seems like a lifetime
oh baby
when I feel this way...I feel this way
