Intro
Verse 1
I remember when, I was five and you were ten, boy,
You knew that I was shy, so you teased and made me cry.
But I loved you...
Verse 2
Then one day you came, you told me you were leaving,
You gave your folks the blame and made me cry a-gain.
When you said...
Chorus 1
Little girl, please don't wait for me,
Wait patiently for love, some-day will surely come.
Little girl, please don't wait for me,
Wait patiently for love, some-day will surely come.
And I'm still wait-ing.
Interlude
I'm waiting,
Ooh, still waiting.
Bridge 1
(I'm just a fool, I'm just a fool to keep waiting,
I'm just a fool, I'm just a fool).
(I'm just a fool, I'm just a fool to keep waiting,
I'm just a fool, I'm just a fool).
Interlude
Verse 3
Then someone finally came; he told me that he loved me,
I put him off with lies; he could see I had no eyes.
So he left me...
Verse 4
Once again, a-lone like a child without her playmate,
I had to face the truth; I was still in love with you.
But you said...
Chorus 2
Little girl, please don't wait for me,
Wait patiently for love, some-day will surely come.
Little girl, please don't wait for me,
Wait patiently for love, some-day will surely come.
And I'm still wait-ing.
Break
Love has never shown his face,
Since the day you walked out that door.
You filled my life with empty space,
Come back; can't you see it's you, I'm waiting for?

I'm just a fool, I'm just a fool).
