4 and 20 - Joss Stone

They say time waits for no man

And neither does this woman

I’ve been trying hard to understand

Would it be?

Many moons have come and gone

And this little heart is 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 4 and 20 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

4 and 20 hours

And that’s me, hmm, baby

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 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

I’ve been holding on for way too long

(It's been too long)

Either you’re in or you’re out

You’ve got 4 and 20 hours

(24 hours, one day)

Just one day to prove to me

That your love has got the power

(Show me)

Make me believe

You’ll take me where I wanna be

4 and 20 hours

And that’s me

See everyday I…

I walk out of my front door

And I’ve been 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

Show off for me baby

You got one day

I will give you 24 hours baby

That all you should need

Ooh

24 hours should be…

Should be enough for you love

Just make me believe

(Take me where I wanna be)

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

More than talk I’m telling you

4 and 20 hours

4 and 20 hours

It should be more than enough for you
