Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
  I'm still alright to smile
  Girl, I think about you every day now
  Was a time when I wasn't sure
  But you set my mind at ease
  There is no doubt
  You're in my heart now
    Said, woman, take it slow
  It'll work itself out fine
  All we need is just a little patience
  Said, sugar, make it slow
  And we come together fine
  All we need is just a little patience
  (patience)
  Mm, yeah
    I sit here on the stairs
  'Cause I'd rather be alone
  If I can't have you right now
  I'll wait, dear
  Sometimes I get so tense
  But I can't speed up the time
  But you know, love
  There's one more thing to consider
    Said, woman, take it slow
  And things will be just fine
  You and I'll just use a little patience
  Said, sugar, take the time
  'Cause the lights are shining bright
  You and I've got what it takes
  To make it, We won't fake it,
  I'll never break it
  'cause I can't take it
    a little patience, mm yeah, yeah
  need a little patience, yeah
  just a little patience, yeah
    I been walkin' the streets at night
  Just tryin' to get it right
  Hard to see with so many around
  You know I don't like
  Being stuck in the crowd
  And the streets don't change
  But baby the name
  I ain't got time for the game
  Cause I need you
  Yeah well I need you
  Oo, I need you
  Yeah, I need you
  Oo, all this tiiiiiiime
