I can't wait forever,

 Even though you want me to

I can't wait forever,

To know if you'll be true

 Time won't let me (oh, no)

 Time won't let me (oh, no)

 Time won't let me...ee...ee...ee

Can't you see I've waited too long?

 To love you, to hold you in my arms

Ahhh...ahhh...ahhh...ah!

I can't wait forever

 Even though you want me to

I can't wait forever

To know if you'll be true

 Time won't let me (oh, no)

 Time won't let me (oh, no)

 Time won't let me...ee...ee...ee

Hear me baby waitin' that long

Take me back, I'm comin' back right now

Hear me baby sayin' I'm comin' home

 I'm comin' home, oh hear me talkin', pretty baby

Don't you know I'm comin' back to you, oh!

Oh pretty baby, take me back, I'm comin' back

Open up your arms and take me back, a-here I come
