Your love is like a river, running through my heart
And I long to be with you, but somebody is keeping us apart
He treats you bad, it's such a shame
Oh baby, I can't stand the pain
Tell me why you keep him around
When you know he's gonna let you down
You don't have to wait
You don't have to wait until he makes you cry
You don't have to wait
You don't have to wait
You don't have to wait, you can say goodbye
You don't have to wait
Oh, now, now, baby
Yeah
I know he says he loves you
But read between the lines
How can you believe him?
He's just wasting all
All of your time
Hey baby, there'll come a day
You find him out and you turn your way
You realize you've been a fool
And you know that I'm the man for you
You don't have to wait
You don't have to wait until he makes you cry
You don't have to wait
You don't have to wait

You don't have to wait, you can say goodbye
You don't have to wait
Oh, now, now, now, baby
Yeah
All right
Yeah, yeah
Oh, now, now, now, baby
Oh, now, now, now, baby
Yeah
Oh, now, now, now, baby
Oh, now, now, baby
Time is pressing
You need my affection
Darling, don't deny my heart
Darling, don't deny my heart
Darling, don't deny my heart
You don't have to wait until he makes you cry
You don't have to wait
Time is pressing
You don't have to wait
You can say goodbye baby
A different way, you can be my girl
I wanna be your man
You don't have to wait, you can be my girl
And I wanna hold you every moment
I can be your man
A different way, you can be my girl


Girl, I want to give you everything I got
I want to drive you wild, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
