Lyrics

Head a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There's no doubt you're in my heart now
Said "Woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience"
Said "Sugar make it slow it'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience..."
I sit here on the stairs 'cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now I'll wait dear
Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time
But you know love there's one more thing to consider
Said "Woman take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience"
Said "Sugar take the time 'cause the lights are shinin' bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it
I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it"
Just Little patience, yeah, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Need some more patience, yeah
I've been walkin' the streets at night
Just tryin' to get it right
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like bein' stuck in the crowd
And the streets don't change
But maybe the names
I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cause I need you
Oh I need you, oh I need you
Oh, all this time
