Tea for One

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

Sitting looking at the clock, time moves so slow

I've been watching for the hands to move

Until I just can't look no more

How come twenty-four hours

Baby, sometimes seem 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 seem to 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, Lord

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
