When I first saw your face I knew that I couldn't hesitate You said, "Baby don't go too fast If we do then it may not last"
Time went on and I waited for you I didn't know what else I could do I thought that we'd always be together You said, "Hold on, it just gets better"
And I believed you I kept holding on You think that I could never leave you You think I'm not that strong, you know
Chorus:
Love won't wait [Love won't wait] Forever and a day [Love won't wait] Love must live in the here and now Don't ask me how, I know [Love won't wait]
[Love won't wait] [Love won't wait]
So here I am with my heart on my sleeve You said, "Baby put your trust in me" But I have come to the end of the line And you have taken up all of my precious time
I need to be something special to you Everybody's somebody's fool Won't be a fool, no you got me all wrong You won't know what you had til it's gone
And I believed you I kept holding on You think that I could never leave you You think I'm not that strong, you know
(chorus)
Chorus2:
Love takes time [Love takes time] And you've been taking too long [Way too long] And time never waited for anyone Don't wait too long or I'll be gone [Love won't wait]
There wasn't anything that I wouldn't do You led me on, you even said, "I love you" How can we go on when it's tearing us apart Are you going to break my heart
'Cause I believed you I kept holding on You think that I could never leave you You think I'm not that strong, you're wrong
[Love won't wait] [Love won't wait]
(chorus) (chorus2)
How much longer can I wait for you Can I keep holding on I've got to be strong Got to say good-bye [Love won't wait]
How much longer can I wait for you Hesitate for you baby I've got to be strong Got to say good-bye
