And mama told me if I want her. I gotta take it slow
But I don't understand this game
I wanna tell her
You just can't tell her, you gotta find other ways to let her know
This is so new to me

I wanna take her in my arms
Give her time and maybe one-day she'll come around
Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
And see the love I am offering
Heaven knows everyday I pray
Cause I don't wanna live without the girl

That someday she will belong to me
She is my sunshine but her heart belongs to another man
She looks right through me, she only ever though of us as friends
But I'll keep holding back my heart
I will not let her see
I gonna bide my time
Until the day she comes to me

And see the love I'm offering
Give her time and maybe one-day she'll come around
Heaven knows, everyday I pray
Cause I don't wanna live without the girl

Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
That someday she will belong to me
Give her time and maybe one-day she'll come around
And see the love I'm offering
Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
Heaven knows, everyday I pray
That someday she will belong to me
Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
