Make Him Wait

When he calls you

You don't have to answer right away

Make him wait

And when he small talks

Before he asks you on a date

Make him wait

When his Pontiac's in the driveway

And his eyes are midnight blue

Take a deep breathe

Do the opposite of what you wanna do

Make him wait by the phone

At the door to meet your dad

Before that first kiss he's gotta hold your hand

You can't get it back when you give yourself away

Yeah, a boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay

Girl, make him wait

And when he says that

It'd be easier if you just stayed the night

Make him wait

You're gonna wanna

And you're thinking you just might

But make him wait, ooh

Make him wait by the phone

At the door to meet your dad

Before that first kiss he's gotta hold your hand

You can't get it back when you give yourself away

Yeah, a boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay

Girl, make him wait

They told me love is worth the weight in gold

Like that ring on your hand so

When you find the one, the staying kind

Then he won't mind

If you make him wait in his tux

Cello sings you down the aisle

Walk slow, take your time

While your daddy cries and your mama smiles

When they're throwin rice into the air

And those tin cans roll away

And you look into his eyes and realize

It was worth the while

To make him wait
