Patience

Shed a tear
'cause I'm missin' you
I'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
it'll work itself out fine
all we need is just
a little patience

Said sugar, make it slow
and we come together fine
all we need is just
a little patience

Patience
mmm... 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 consider

Said 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 bright
you and I've got
what it takes to make it

We won't fake it
I'll never break it
'cause I can't take it

(Short whistle fill)

Little patience
mmm... ah
mmm, yeah
need a little patience
yeah... just a little patience

I've been walkin'
these streets at night
just tryin' to get it right
it's hard to see with
so many around

You know I don't like
bein' stuck in the crowd
and the streets don't change
but baby the name

I ain't got time for the game
'cause I need you
yeah-yeah, but I need you
ooh... I need you
woah, I need you
ooh... this time...
