[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
[Bridge]
Baby please give me 24 more hours
[Chorus]
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
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
[Chorus]
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
[Bridge]
Baby please give me 24 more hours
[Chorus]
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
