Patience

One, two, one, two, three, four

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing 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

And it'll work itself out fine

All we need is just a little patience

Said: Sugar, make it slow

And we'll come together fine

All we need is just a little patience

Patience

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 take it

Little patience

Need a little patience

Just a little patience

Some more patience

I've been walking the streets at night

Just trying to get it right (need some patience)

It's hard to see with so many around

You know, I don't like being stuck in the crowd

(Could use some patience)

And the streets don't change but, baby, the names

I ain't got time for the game

(Gotta have some patience)

'Cause I need you

But I need you (all it takes is patience)

I need you (just a little patience)

I need you (is all you need)

This time
