When I first saw your face
Knew that I could not 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 can never leave you
You think I'm not that strong, you're wrong

Love won't wait, forever and a day
Love must live in the here and now
Don't ask me how I know

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've wasted up all of my precious time

Wanted to be something special to you
Everybody's somebody's fool
Won't be a fool, no, you've got me all wrong
You don't know what you have till it's gone

And I believed you, I kept holding on
You think that I can never leave you
You think I'm not that strong, you're wrong

Love won't wait, forever and a day
Love must live in the here and now
Don't ask me how I know
Love takes time
But you've been takin' too long
Time never waited for anyone
Don't wait too long or I'll be gone
Don't wait too long, I'll be gone, I'll be gone

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 tearin' us apart
Are you going to break my heart
'Cause I believed you

Love won't wait, forever and a day
Love must live in the here and now
Don't ask me how I know
Love takes time
But you've been takin' too long
Time never waited for anyone
Don't wait too long or I'll be gone

How much longer can I wait for you
I kept holding on, ah ah yeah
