Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh-ooh, you can't wait for love
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, you can't wait for love
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
So hard to make it on your own
Outside in the rain
No one is happy all alone
No one to care or change, oh-oh
But finding love isn't easy
It takes a special kind of view
When there's love, life is easy
It satisfies the need in you
[Verse 3]
Oh-oh, you can't wait for love
(Can't wait)
Love will take you, love will make you
(Make you)
You can't wait for love
(Can't wait)
Love will take you (Take you), love will make you (High)
[Verse 4]
Don't sit inside your lonely room
No need to be sad and blue
Don't have to be the only one
So much nicer when there's two
[Verse 5]
You can't wait for love (You can't wait)
You can't wait for love (Can't wait for love)
You can't wait for love (Oh-oh-oh)
You can't wait, I bet you can't wait
Can't wait for, can't wait for love
[Verse 6]
Ooh-ooh, you can't wait for love
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 7]
Seems like no one understands
Just what's on your mind
When someone takes you by the hand
And leaves your troubles behind
[Verse 8]
Oh-oh, you can't wait for love
(Can't wait)
Love will take you, love will make you
(Make you)
You can't wait for love
(Can't wait)
Love will take you (Take you), love will make you (High)
[Verse 9]
Now nothing in this world
Comes to a sleep worth a dream
Just keep your eyes to the sky
Things will get brighter than they seem
[Verse 10]
You can't wait for love (You can't wait)
You can't wait for love (Can't wait for love)
You can't wait for love (Oh-oh-oh)
You can't wait, I bet you can't wait
Can't wait for, can't wait for love
[Verse 11]
Wait for love, can't wait
Love will take you
(Take you) love will make you
(Make you)
You can't wait for love (Can't wait)
Love will take you (Take you), love will make you (High)
[Verse 12]
Ooh-ooh, you can't wait for love
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, you can't wait for love
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 13]
You can't wait for love
Love will take you, love will make you
You can't wait for love
