[Chorus:]

Wait a minute

I've been calling out to you

There's nothing more you can say to make me stay

This time I swear I'll stand firm to my word

Wait a minute

I've cried my last cry

For the last time

See you've stayed away a day too late

I've hurt for too long, boy, now you've got to pay

I gotta' dozen things on my mind

Issues with you are the first in line

I never thought it would be true

I was labeled a fool for chasing after you

Shoulda' known what to do

Repercussions all because of you

Manipulating

Aggravating

All of these things come to mind

But . . .

[Chorus:]

Wait a minute

I've been calling out to you

There's nothing more you can say to make me stay

This time I swear I'll stand firm to my word

Wait a minute

I've cried my last cry

For the last time

See you've stayed away a day too late

I've hurt for too long, boy, now you've got to pay

I've wasted far too much time boy

Blaming myself when you're wrong

Can't go on

Year after year

And if you really, really loved me, like you say you do

You woulda' took up for my heart

From the start

Instead, you led me on

Tell me why

[Bridge:]

Now I understand why

You strayed away day after day

You just weren't the man that

Was meant to be

For me

For me

[Chorus:]

Wait a minute

I've been calling out to you

There's nothing more you can say to make me stay

This time I swear I'll stand firm to my word

Wait a minute

I've cried my last cry

For the last time

See you've stayed away a day too late

I've hurt for too long, boy, now you've got to pay
