Sitting here just staring at your picture Waiting for your call So unclear, I'm hanging on a notion We could have it all Time and time again you tell me to be patient But we can't let love slip away Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, oh Ooh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find Don't make me wait for love Hmm, I close the blinds and try to hide the darkness Fall asleep alone Give me a sign, a man ain't supposed to face life Standing on his own When you're near me I can't help but see forever Come and rescue me tonight Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, oh Oh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find Can't you see I need your love, I need you Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, yeah Oh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find Don't make me wait for love Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't make me wait for love this time, oh Oh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find Can't you see I need your love, I need you Baby, don't make me wait for love this time Oh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find, ooh, baby Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, I need you, baby I love you, I need you, I want you, baby
