(P. Vance / L. Pockriss)


Lynn Roberts - 1960

(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)
(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)
(Johnny, wait for me)

When I met Johnny I was only three
But he was seven and too old for me
I was always getting in his way
And I remember, I remember what I would say

Wait for me, wait for me, Johnny, please wait for me
I love you more than I can hardly stand
Wait for me, wait for me, Johnny, please wait for me
I'll grow up just as fast as I can

(Wait, wait, wait, for me, wait for me)
(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)

As we grew older I would always wait
I'd wait for Johnny by the schoolyard gate
He would yell at me to go away
And I remember, I remember what I would say

Wait for me, wait for me, Johnny, please wait for me
I love you more than I can hardly stand
Wait for me, wait for me, Johnny, please wait for me
I'll grow up just as fast as I can

(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)
(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)

Now we're grown, but I couldn't wait
And he's in love with me, but it's too late
I just married someone else today
But I remember, I remember what I would say

Wait for me, wait for me, Johnny, please wait for me
I love you more than I can hardly stand
Wait for me, wait for me, Johnny, please wait for me
I'll grow up just as fast as I can

(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)
(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)
Johnny, wait for me
(Wait for me, wait for me)
(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)
(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)
(Wait, wait, wait for me, wait for me)
