There's only 24 hours in a day,
and half as many ways for you to lie to me, my little love.
There's only 24 hours in a day,
and half of those, you lay awake with thoughts of murder and carnage.
Pre-chorus:
If you lie down with dogs then you'll get fleas,
be careful of the company you keep.
Chorus:
There's only 24 hours and that's not enough
to lie like you lie or love like you love.
Verse 2:
There's only 24 hours in a day,
and half of those you lay between the sheets with me, my lying love.
There's only 24 hours, so you'd say
for most of them you pay for all the things they paid you for, my love.
Pre-chorus:
If you lie down with dogs, then you'll get fleas
be careful of the ones you choose to leave.
Chorus:
There's only 24 hours and that's not enough
to lie like you lie or love like you love.
Bridge:
Give me your heat, give me your diamonds.
You hit that street and my crooked lust.
You count to three while they're all dying,
You're hard to reach, you're cold to touch.
