Well, I'm standing here freezing, inside your golden garden

Got my ladder leaned up against your wall

Tonight's the night we planned to run away together

Come on dolly mae

There's no time to stall

But now you're telling me that ah...

I think we better wait till tomorrow

I think we better wait till tomorrow

I think we better wait till tomorrow

Got to make sure it's right

So until tomorrow goodnight

Oh, dolly mae

How can you hang me up this way

Oh the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today

Now I'm standing here like some turned down serenading fool

Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed up mind of you

And you keep telling me that ah...

I think we better wait till tomorrow

I think we better wait till tomorrow

I think we better wait till tomorrow

Got to make sure it's right

So until tomorrow goodnight

Oh, dolly mae

Girl, you must be insane

So unsure of yourself learning from your unsure window pane

Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree?

Click, bang

Oh, what a hang

Your daddy just shot poor me

And I hear you say

As I fade away

We don't have to wait till tomorrow

We don't have to wait till tomorrow

We don't have to wait till tomorrow

It must not have been right, so forever, goodnight

We don't have to wait till tomorrow...
