I know you’re standing there
Trying to say the words
You took so long to prepare
But I laugh, pretending I don’t see
Cause I don’t wanna hear
What you got to say to me

Can’t it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can’t it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours

I ‘ve seen it coming for quite sometime now
Don’t you know I’ve tried to stop it
In every way I know how
And I know it’s hard for you
As it is for me
So listen to my heart
Begging desperately

Can’t it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Oh wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours

Baby please give me 24 more hours

Can’t it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can’t it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours

Can’t it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Oh wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
