Lyrics
I’ll Bide My Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you’re gonna love me and love me true
I promise you dear I’ll do the same for you
But if you’re gonna take my poor heart
When it is yours and tear it apart
I’ve planned in my mind what then I will do
I’ll bide my time ‘til I’m even with you
If you ever kiss me ‘cause your love is real
I’m sure I can equal anything you feel
But if you ever kiss me and you sigh a sweet sigh
And then I find out that it’s a lie
I’ve planned in my mind what then I will do
I’ll bide my time ‘til I’m even with you
If to me you whisper words “I love you”
I know I’m brave enough to say “I love you too”
But if I find out that all this time
You were playing games you weren’t truly mine
I’ve planned in my mind what then I will do
I’ll bide my time ‘til I’m even with you
