Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing youI'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 and it'll work itself out fineAll we need is just a little patience"Said, "sugar, make it slow and we'll come together fineAll 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 considerSaid, "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 brightYou and I've got what it takes to make itWe won't fake it, oh, I'll never break it'Cause I can't take it"
I've been walking the streets at nightJust tryin' to get it right (need some patience, yeah...)It's hard to see with so many aroundYou know, I don't like being stuck in the crowd (could use some patience, yeah...)And the streets don't change but, baby, the namesI ain't got time for the game (gotta have some patience, yeah...)'Cause I need you yeah, yeah, but I need you, ooh... (all it takes is patience, yeah...)I need you, ooh... (just a little patience, ooh...)I need you, ooh... (is all you need)This time...
