Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I never mind waiting

Ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ha!

[Verse 2]

First a glance

Then a smile

Warmer than all of the heavens

Whispering to me your name

And asking of me the same

[Verse 3]

First a song

Then a dance

That could have lasted forever

But time said we had to part

Not caring if it broke our hearts

[Verse 4]

You said, "Hope we meet again"

I said, "Yes, just tell me when"

Please don't make me wait too long

(Hurry, baby)

Don't make me wait too long

[Verse 5]

I never mind waiting

I never mind waiting

Ha!

[Verse 6]

First a note

Then a call

With such tender conversation

I knew alright it would be

If you came to visit me

[Verse 7]

First a kiss

Then we were gone

To love's magic land together

But morning said you must go

Not caring if it hurt us so

[Verse 8]

I ask you, "Will we again?"

You said, "Yes, just tell me when"

Please don't make me wait too long

Oh whoa now (Hurry, baby)

Don't make me wait too long

(Hurry, baby)

Don't make me wait too long

[Verse 9]

I never mind waiting

Just don't make me wait too long

I promise to wait, dear

Just don't make me wait too long

I never mind waiting

Just don't make me wait too long

I promise to wait, dear

Just don't make me wait too long

[Verse 10]

I believe in you

And I don't mind what you do

Just please don't make me wait too long

I believe in you

And I don't mind what you do

Just please don't make me wait too long

[Verse 11]

Boy, I believe in you

And I don't mind what you do

Just please don't make me wait too long

(Girl) I believe in you, boy

And I don't mind what you do

Just please don't make me wait too long

[Verse 12]

Oh I believe in you

And I don't mind what you do

Just please, sugar, in the morning

Don't make me wait too long

I believe in you, boy

And I don't mind what you do

Just please don't make me have to wait

On my stuff too long

[Verse 13]

Ooh ooh ooh

Ha!

[Verse 14]

First you're here

Then you're gone

It's that same old heartbreak story

Thought that you'd be in my life

For more than just one night

[Verse 15]

But you say

You've got to leave

It destroys me, boy, it hurts me

Tell me, what did I do wrong

For you to leave me all alone?

[Verse 16]

I don't care how long you'll be

'Cause I will wait patiently

But please don't make me wait too long

Oh whoa now (Hurry, baby)

Don't make me wait too long

Got to do that for me, my, my baby (Hurry, baby)

Don't make me wait too long

[Verse 17]

I never mind waiting

Just don't make me wait too long

I promise to wait, dear

Just don't make me wait too long

I never mind waiting

Just don't make me wait too long

I promise to wait, dear

Just don't make me wait too long

[Verse 18]

I never mind waiting

Just don't make me wait too long

I promise to wait, dear

Just don't make me wait too long
