24 Hours (To Find My Baby)

(album: 25 Miles - 1969)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Twenty-four hours for finding my baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(But it's not enough, twenty-four hours)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Twenty-four hours for finding my baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(But it's not enough, twenty-four hours)

I've got twenty-four hours
To find that little girl of mine
I've been wracking my brain
Just about to go insane
'Cause I know I can't waste no time

Ever since she's left me, I cry every day
I just can't get myself together no kind of way
Everything is wrong, nothing's going right
I never knew a woman could get me so uptight, oh

(Twenty-four hours for finding my baby)
I gotta find my baby
(But it's not enough, twenty-four hours)

We were strangers when we met
But her love I can't forget
She's been often imitated
But never duplicated, yes

Oh, ever since she's left me, I cry every day
I just can't get myself together no kind of way
Everything is wrong, nothing's going right
I never knew a woman could get me so uptight, oh

Her love has been the light
To always show me the way, hey
But my world could just fall apart
If my baby has left me each day, yeah

Won't somebody hear my plea (somebody, please)
Send that girl on back to me (somebody, please)
I just can't afford to waste no time (can't waste no time)
I got to have that little girl of mine, I got

(Twenty-four hours for finding my baby)
Sho nuff got to find her
(But it's not enough, twenty-four hours)
Twenty-four hours to go

(Twenty-four hours for finding my baby)
Where my baby is, I don't know
(But it's not enough, twenty-four hours)
But I got to find her

(Twenty-four hours for finding my baby)
Sho nuff got to find her
(But it's not enough, twenty-four hours)
My baby, my baby

(Twenty-four hours for finding my baby)
Got to find my baby
(But it's not enough, twenty-four hours)
Somebody help me

(Twenty-four hours for finding my baby)
'Cause I got to find my baby
(But it's not enough)
