You keep on asking me Why can't we be together I keep saying won't you wait a while What's all the hurry I thought we had forever I just need time 'til i can make up my mind I'm not asking for A love to last forever I don't expect to get a guarantee It's just that i believe Lovers should stick together I'm only saying Won't you wait for me [Chorus] I've got to be Got to be certain I've got to be so sure I've had my share of hearts broken And i don't want to take that any more I've got some friends who say Boys are all the same They're only looking out for just one thing I'm only hoping that You won't turn out like that I need some time 'til i can make up my mind Been hurt in love before But i still come back for more I was such a fool I couldn't stop myself If you believe in me If you want our love to be I know you'll wait for me, oh, oh, oh, oh [Chorus] Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh [Chorus until fade]
