WAIT
(Jackie Jackson / David Paich)
The Jacksons


How come you tell me that we have to get away?
But girl, you can't be found.
We'll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysées 
Whenever you come around. 
There's been a break down, break down,
Don't change your mind on me!
Just take a little time 
You say the finer things 
Are worth waiting for. 
Just give me some kinda sign, baby. 

I can't wait, wait for a hundred years! 
I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer. 
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years! 
I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer, whoa!

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

Sometimes I think of all the moments that we share. 
I've been waiting for so long. 
You know it hurts me 
Everytime you run and hide. 
I look up and now you're gone. 
I've been put down, way down 
There's no tomorrow for me. 
You can't let love just fade away, baby. 

I can't wait, wait for a hundred years! 
I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer. 
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years! 
I can't hold back my tears any longer! 

Girl, I've been longing for you deep inside, 
And I tell myself, baby, baby, 
If this love of ours will survive 
Then let's take this chance together, together 
Baby, you know! 

I just can't wait (I just can't wait), 
Wait for a hundred years (I just can't wait)
I just can't wait 
I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer! 
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years 
I can't hold back my tears (can't hold back my tears) any longer!
 
Now hear, you pushed my heart around 
Tore me up inside, made me feel so bad 
You took away my pride! 
(My pride!) 
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years 
I can't hold back my tears any longer 
I can't hold back my tears 
(Any longer) 
I can't hold back my tears, baby 
(Any longer) 
I can't hold back my tears, darling 
(Any longer) 
I can hold back my tears, baby 
(Any longer) 
Any longer 
I can't wait 
I'm down on my knees, baby 
Baby, baby, baby 
Don't talk to me 
Break down on my knees, baby 
Must tell me 
Can't help my soul 
I can't help my soul, baby, baby 
(Any longer) 
Talk to me 
(Any longer) 
Break down on my knees, now baby 
(Any longer) 
(Any longer) 
Can't wait 
(Any longer) 
I can't wait 
I can't wait 
I can't wait 
Wait, baby 
I can't wait no more, now baby 
Break down on my knees 

(fade out)
