Not a very special song to begin with. I loved another song of Betty Boo, Where Are You Baby?, a lot back then. 24 Hours was an ok song. But the cantonese version, even "doubled the 24 hours", just doesn't cut it for me, both the lyrics and singing are barely so-so... Next!

I like Alex' cover back then! First time to hear Betty Boo's original! Thank you for the post!

I have to admit first impression helped again: I prefer Alex' over Betty's (Fade-out)!

C Y Kong did a good job on Alex' ending. Betty's 7" & 12" were fade-outs. Let me see whether I can find the ending elements on the 12" Extended Mix or Instrumental Dub Mix!

Done: Betty Boo - 24 Hours [GL Edit With Rap] & Betty Boo - 24 Hours [GL Edit Without Rap]! 12" was a different remix. I've found the elements I needed in the Instrumental Dub Mix & slightly extended the chorus ending.

Now I like them both: original + cover!

Betty Boo - 24 Hours

I always knew
No matter what you say or do
Right by your side I keep you satisfied
Other girls can stare
And try to catch you if they dare
But I'm not afraid you never run away
Mondays, Tuesdays
You're always working overtime
But Fridays, Saturdays and, ooh, Sundays
That's when you're all mine

Your love is all I need
To help me through the day
Kisses leave me incomplete
That's why y' all always hear me say
I need you 24 hours (24 hours)

I always knew
No matter what you say or do
Right by your side I keep you satisfied
Other girls can stare
And try to catch you if they dare
But I'm not afraid you never run away
Mondays, Tuesdays
You're always working overtime
But Fridays, Saturdays and, ooh, Sundays
That's when you're all mine

Your love is all I need
To help me through the day
Kisses leave me incomplete
That's why don't always hear me say
I need you 24 hours

Rap:
We do everything together, whatever the weather
It's like your hype, yeah, just my type
What good physique, real neat
No others could compete
Not fat, not slim
Never could delete you from my mind
Your loving
That makes me feel so hot inside
Devastating you could be
If you ever left me
Got a guarantee, I'll always be your honey bee

Your love is all I need,
(Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays)
to help me through the day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kisses leave me incomplete
That's why you'll always hear me say
I need you 24 hours

Your love is all I need
(Your love is all I need)
To help me through the day
(To help me through the day)
Kisses leave me incomplete
(That's why you'll always hear me say
And I need you 24 hours)

Your love is all I need, you
(Your love is all I need)
To help me through my day
(You are my one and all)
Kisses
(kisses leave me incomplete)
kisses
(That's why you'll always hear me say)
I need you 24 hours

Your love is all I need
(Your love is all I need)
To help me through the day
(To help me through the day)
Kisses leave me incomplete
(That's why you'll always hear me say
And I need you 24 hours)
