what a difference a day makes
what a difference

Six a clock in the mornin
Oh a new day is born
Can't wait to get my day started
I think I'll run a few laps
Then I'll take a hot bath
And dash to my favorite hair salon

What a difference a day makes
What a difference
What a difference a day makes
What a difference

Now with a fresh do
I did the nails and the feet to
It's time to go on shoppin spree
Spoil myself with something lovely
Oh, I can't forget
I got a date up town bout six
I'm lookin great and I'm feelin fine
It's good to be off work some time

What a difference a day makes
What a difference
What a difference a day makes
What a difference
Ooo, back at home again
Right where I first left off
I'm glad I had some fun today
Cause I show was stressin out
Feelin as high as ever, lookin better
All I needed was one day
When you just can't take and make time to shake it

What a difference a day makes (What a difference a day can make)
What a difference (What a, what a difference)
What a difference a day makes
What a difference

(as we go a little somethin
as we go a little somethin
as we go a little somethin
like this)
(as we go a little somethin
as we go a little somethin
as we go a little somethin
like this)

What a difference a day makes
What a difference
What a difference a day makes
What a difference
What a difference a day makes
What a difference




What a difference a day makes
What a difference
