Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wait a minute, baby
You're packin' your bags?
(How soon?)
Nah, don't do that
Wait a minute
Just stay awhile
(How soon?)
We can work this out
Sit down, let's talk about it
[Verse 2]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume
Girl, this damn bed is cold, nothing to hold onto
Oh, yeah, the phone is cool
But girl, I need you here
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here?
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna miss you more than you know
Every time you leave I wanna beg you not to go
We have so much fun, girl, don't we though?
When you pack your bags to leave
I try not to let my feelings show
It's so hard for me especially after you've been around
Distant lovers are what we are and girl, it's breaking me down
[Verse 4]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume
Girl, this damn bed is cold, nothing to hold onto
Oh, yeah, the phone is cool
But girl, I need you here
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here?
[Verse 5]
When will I see you? It's never too soon
Can you come in the morning and leave later on that afternoon?
See im just a shell whenever you're away
Girl, I'd give anything just to see you everyday
It's so hard for me especially after you've been around
Distant lovers are what we are and girl it's breaking me down
You're a career girl you gotta do what you gotta do
As much as I want you here with me, girl, I'm so damn proud of you
[Verse 6]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume
Girl, this damn bed is cold, nothing to hold onto
Oh, yeah, the phone is cool
But girl, I need you here
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here?
[Verse 7]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume
Girl, this damn bed is cold, nothing to hold onto
Oh, yeah, the phone is cool
But girl, I need you here
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here?
Get here
[Verse 8]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
How soon?
Oh, baby
Girl, I hate to see you leave
Can't you see it's killing me
Be it plane, train or automobile
Get here
[Verse 9]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume
Girl, this damn bed is cold, nothing to hold onto
Oh, yeah, the phone is cool
But girl, I need you here
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here?
[Verse 10]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume
Girl, this damn bed is cold, nothing to hold onto
Oh, yeah, the phone is cool
But girl, I need you here
