Wives Who Wait

It's late evening, a quarter past overdue

Overdue, a call, a lonely call from you

A quarter past overdue

I don't just want you when I find myself alone

I could be in a crowd of people and you'd still feel like home

And that's the difference I suppose

They'll say good things come to good wives who wait

Keep your cool, girl, keep your faith

Good things come to good wives who wait

Keep your cool, girl, keep your faith

And time keeps tickin' on

And I get wiser the longer I'm gone

Oh, time, it keeps tickin' on

And I get wiser the longer I'm gone

I kept walking beside your white walls

That were meant to keep me kept and warm

But it's a new day, babe, it's a new dawn

And they'll say good things come to good wives who wait

Keep your cool, girl, keep your faith

Good things come to good wives who wait

Keep your cool, girl, take the bait

And time keeps tickin' on

And I get wiser the longer I'm gone

Oh, time, it keeps tickin' on

And I get wiser

Good things come to good wives who wait

Keep your cool, girl, keep your faith

Good things come to good wives who wait

Go on, take the bait
