How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh, twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days, yeah
When a minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh, 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 seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby, when I feel this way.
To sing a song for you,
I recall you used to say,
"Oh, baby, this one's for we two,"
Which in the end is you anyway.
How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes slip into days?
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 by my own choice I left you, woman,
And now I can't get back again.
How come twenty-four hours
Sometimes seem to slip into days? Yes, well
Well, 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.
