[Intro]
Mm
Mm-hmm-mm

[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 what 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 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 (Hours)
[Post-Chorus]
And that's me
Mm-hmm, 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 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

[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 4 and 20 hours (24 hours, one day)
Just one day to prove to me
That (Show me) your love has got the power
Make me believe
You'll take me where I wanna be
4 (4) and (And) twen- (Twen-) ty (Ty) hours (Hours)
Ooh-hoo
[Post-Chorus]
And that's me
Yeah, yeah, hey
Mm

[Bridge]
(Time)
See, everyday I
(Time)
I walk out of my front door
(Waits)
And I've been wishing and hoping
(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 and
Show up for me, baby

[Outro]
You've got one day, yeah
I will give you 24 hours, baby
(4 and 20)
That's all you should need, na, na
(Hours)
(4 and 20)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Hours)
4 and 20 hours should be...
(4 and 20)
Should be enough for you love
(Hours)
Just make me believe, yeah
(Take me where I wanna be)
Make me believe
(4 and 20)
That you're the man for me, baby
(Hours)
Ooh-oh, yeah
(Make believe)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I gotta believe you, baby
Mm-hmm
(Ooh-ooh)
I'm gonna need more than flowers, honey, child
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(4 and 20)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Hours)
And more than talk, I'm telling you
(4 and 20)
Ooh
(Hours)
4 and 20 hours, baby
(4 and 20)
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, oh-ooh, yeah, yeah
(Hours)
4 and 20 hours should be
It should be more than enough for you, you
