[Love won't wait]
  [Love won't wait]
  
  When I first saw your face
  I knew that I couldn't hesitate
  You said, "Baby don't go too fast
  If we do then it may not last"
  
  Time went on and I waited for you
  I didn't know what else I could do
  I thought that we'd always be together
  You said, "Hold on, it just gets better"
  
  And I believed you
  I kept holding on
  You think that I could never leave you
  You think I'm not that strong, you know
  
  Chorus:
  
  Love won't wait
  [Love won't wait]
  Forever and a day
  [Love won't wait]
  Love must live in the here and now
  Don't ask me how, I know
  [Love won't wait]
  
  [Love won't wait]
  [Love won't wait]
  
  So here I am with my heart on my sleeve
  You said, "Baby put your trust in me"
  But I have come to the end of the line
  And you have taken up all of my precious time
  
  I need to be something special to you
  Everybody's somebody's fool
  Won't be a fool, no you got me all wrong
  You won't know what you had til it's gone
  
  And I believed you
  I kept holding on
  You think that I could never leave you
  You think I'm not that strong, you know
  
  (chorus)
  
  Chorus2:
  
  Love takes time
  [Love takes time]
  And you've been taking too long
  [Way too long]
  And time never waited for anyone
  Don't wait too long or I'll be gone
  [Love won't wait]
  
  There wasn't anything that I wouldn't do
  You led me on, you even said, "I love you"
  How can we go on when it's tearing us apart
  Are you going to break my heart
  
  'Cause I believed you
  I kept holding on
  You think that I could never leave you
  You think I'm not that strong, you're wrong
  
  [Love won't wait]
  [Love won't wait]
  
  (chorus)
  (chorus2)
  
  How much longer can I wait for you
  Can I keep holding on
  I've got to be strong
  Got to say good-bye
  [Love won't wait]
  
  How much longer can I wait for you
  Hesitate for you baby
  I've got to be strong
  Got to say good-bye
  
  Good-bye
