Wait

WAIT

Written and Composed by Jackie Jackson & David Paich

How come you tell me that we have to get away

But girl, you can’t be found

We’ll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysées

Whenever you come around

There’s been a break down, break down

Don’t change your mind on me

Just take a little time

You say the finer things

Are worth waiting for

Just give me some kinda sign, baby

I can’t wait, wait for a hundred years

I can’t hold back my tears any longer, longer

I can’t wait, wait for a hundred years

I can’t hold back my tears any longer, longer

Sometimes I think of all the moments that we share

I’ve been waiting for so long

You know it hurts me

Every time you run and hide

I look up and now you’re gone

I’ve been put down, way down

There’s no tomorrow for me

You can’t let love just fade away, baby

I can’t wait, wait for a hundred years

I can’t hold back my tears any longer, longer

I can’t wait, wait for a hundred years

I can’t hold back my tears any longer

Girl, I’ve been longing for you deep inside

And I tell myself, baby, baby

If this love of ours will survive

Then let’s take this chance together, together

Baby, you know

I just can’t wait, wait for a hundred years

I just can’t wait

I can’t hold back my tears any longer, longer

I can’t wait, wait for a hundred years

I can’t hold back my tears any longer

Now hear, you pushed my heart around

Tore me up inside, made me feel so bad

You took away my pride

(My pride)

I can’t wait, wait for a hundred years

I can’t hold back my tears any longer

I can’t hold back my tears

(Any longer)

I can’t hold back my tears, baby

(Any longer)

I can’t hold back my tears, darling

(Any longer)

I can hold back my tears, baby

(Any longer)

Any longer

I can’t wait

I’m down on my knees, baby

Baby, baby, baby

Don’t talk to me

Break down on my knees, baby

Must tell me

Can’t help my soul

I can’t help my soul, baby, baby

(Any longer)

Talk to me

(Any longer)

Break down on my knees, now baby

(Any longer)

(Any longer)

Can’t wait

(Any longer)

I can’t wait

I can’t wait

I can’t wait

Wait, baby

I can’t wait no more, now baby

Break down on my knees
