24 Lyrics

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 thought of murder
And carnage
If you lie down with dogs
Then you'll get fleas
Be careful, love, the company you keep

There's only 24 hours
And that's not enough to lie like you lie
Or love like you love

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
If you lie down with dogs
Then you'll get fleas
Be careful of the ones you choose to leave
There's only 24 hours and that's not enough
To lie like you lie
Or love like you love
Give me your heat
Give me your diamonds
You hit that street
And my crooked love
You count to three
While they're all dying
You're hard to reach
You're cold to touch
