When I'm away from you, boy All I seem to do is cry And then when I see you, boy My, how the time does fly I don't know if you need and love me The way I love and need you I hope that we can be together soon I hope that we can be together soon I hope that we can be together soon Real soon, can you make it real soon? When I think about you, girl Chills run up and down my spine And if my wish would come true, girl I'd be with you all the time For the right, day and night I'm gonna miss you All my lonely heart seems to do I hope that we can be together soon (Maybe tomorrow) I hope that we can be together soon (Maybe tomorrow) I feel that we can be together soon But will you make it real soon? (I can't wait) Can you make it real soon? (I can't wait, I can't wait) I hope that we can be together I swear I can't wait any longer Every day my love grows stronger Ooh, baby, and I, I'd like to make it real soon
