Theres only 24 hours in a day
And half as many ways
For you to lie to me, my little love
Theres only 24 hours in a day
And half of those, you lay
Awake with thoughts of murder and carnage

If you lie down with dogs, then youll get fleas
Be careful of the company you keep

Theres only 24 hours
And thats not enough
To lie like you lie
Or love like you love

Theres only 24 hours in a day
And half of those you lay
Between the sheets with me, my lying love
Theres only 24 hours, so youd say
For most of them you pay
For all the things they paid you for, my love

If you lie down with dogs, then youll get fleas
Be careful of the ones you choose to leave

Theres only 24 hours
And thats not enough
To lie like you lie
Or love like you love

Give me your heat
Give me your diamonds
You hit that street
And my crooked lust
You count to three
While theyre all dying
Youre hard to reach
Youre cold to touch
