Twenty-Three Hours

It's been twenty-three hours, and seventeen minutes

And thirteen seconds since you've been gone

My blood pressure keeps going up, ooh

My pulse done got real weak

I can't stand it, baby, oh no, being alone

Listen, we had a silly fight

And we both played our games

So let's give it one more try

And you know I'll take the blame, woah

Come back, baby, come back

Give me one more chance

You know I'll change my ways

Oh, let's start over

Oh, let's start over

Oh, let's start over one more time

Oh baby, oh baby, oh yeah

Listen

I stood by the telephone

Waiting for you to call, mmm

Hoping that you'd forgive me

But I waited all night long

Then I called your mother

Hoping you'd be there

You got me walking 'round in circles, baby

Pulling out my hair

She said you left this morning

She didn't know where you had gone

And now you got me begging you

Please don't leave me alone, woah

Come back, baby, come back

Give me one more chance

You know I'll change my ways

Oh, let's start over

Oh, let's start over

Oh, let's start over one more time

Oh yeah, oh baby, oh baby, listen

My health's gonna fail me

If you don't come on back, uh

Can't live without you, baby

That's a natural fact, now listen

You know I'm still your man

Though you said I did you wrong

But if you just got to leave me

Please don't stay so long

Come back, baby, come back

Give me one more chance

I'll change my ways

Oh, let's start over

Oh, let's start over

Oh, let's start over one more time

Oh baby, come on, baby

Come on back right now

Yeah, baby

Come on back to me, baby

And I love you

You know I need you

I'd like to have you right now

Oh, I need you, baby

Don't leave me

Come on back to me
