[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Theres only twenty-four hours in a day
~#**************#~
And half as many ways for you to lie to me, my little love
~#**************#~
Theres only twenty-four 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 youll get fleas
~#**************#~
Be careful of the company you keep
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Theres only twenty-four hours
~#**************#~
And thats not enough
~#**************#~
To lie like you lie
~#**************#~
Or love like you love
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Hmm, hmm
~#**************#~
Hmm, hmm
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Theres only twenty-four hours in a day
~#**************#~
And half of those you lay
~#**************#~
Between the sheets with me, my lying love
~#**************#~
Theres only twenty-four hours, so youd 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 youll get fleas
~#**************#~
Be careful of the ones you choose to leave
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Theres only twenty-four hours
~#**************#~
And thats not enough
~#**************#~
To lie like you lie
~#**************#~
Or love like you love
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Hmm, hmm
~#**************#~
Hmm, hmm
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Give me your heat
~#**************#~
Give me your diamonds
~#**************#~
You hit that street
~#**************#~
And my crooked words
~#**************#~
You count to three
~#**************#~
While theyre all dying
~#**************#~
Youre hard to reach
~#**************#~
Youre cold to touch
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
La-da-da-da-da-da
~#**************#~
La-da-da-da-da-da
~#**************#~
La-da-da-di-da-da-da
