Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I want it all and nothin' less
I want it all, I want the best for you
I'm tellin' you the truth
You are the one that makes it real
Even the sunlight doesn't feel this good
Whoever said it could
[Verse 2]
Patience
Patience gets us nowhere fast
Patience
Patience gets us nowhere
[Verse 3]
I want it all and nothin' less
I want it all, I want the best for us
I'm tellin' you to trust
The world, you see, is on our side
Take a chance and take a ride with me
From sea to shinin' sea
[Verse 4]
Patience
Patience gets us nowhere fast
Patience
Patience gets us nowhere fast
I don't want my patience to last
[Verse 5]
Follow me, follow me somewhere
Follow me, follow me somewhere
Follow me, follow me somewhere out there
Follow me, follow me somewhere
Follow me, follow me somewhere
Follow me, follow me somewhere out there
[Verse 6]
I want it all and nothin' less
I want it all, I want the best for you
I'm tellin' you the truth
You are the kiss I don't expect
Remind me never to forget my youth
I'll leave it up to you
[Verse 7]
Patience
Patience gets us nowhere fast
Patience
Patience gets us nowhere fast
Patience (Patience)
Patience gets us nowhere fast
Patience (Patience)
Patience gets us nowhere fast
