I can't wait forever
Even though you want me to
I can't wait forever
To know if you'll be true
Time won't let me (oh, no)
Time won't let me (oh, no)
Time won't let me...ee...ee...ee
(1: Wait that long (repeat intro 1X; to Verse 2))
(2: Wow! (to solo))
(3: Wait that long (to coda))

Can't you see I've waited too long
To love you, to hold you in my arms

Ahhh...ahhh...ahhh...ah!
(repeat verse 1)
(repeat chorus)

(CODA)...long It won't let me wait that long
(wait, wait, wait, wait that long) <- BG vocals continue to end
Hear me baby waitin' that long
Take me back, I'm comin' back right now
Hear me baby sayin' I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home, oh hear me talkin', pretty baby
Don't you know I'm comin' back to you, oh!
Oh pretty baby, take me back, I'm comin' back
Open up your arms and take me back, a-here I come (fade)
