Patience

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, mm... Yeah

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, oh, I'll never break it

'Cause I can't take it"

(Whistle)

(Little patience, mm, yeah, mm, yeah)

(Need a little patience, yeah...)

(Just a little patience, yeah...)

(Some more patience, yeah...)

I've been walking the streets at night

Just tryin' to get it right (need some patience, yeah...)

It's hard to see with so many around

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

(Could use some patience, yeah...)

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

I ain't got time for the game (gotta have some patience, yeah...)

'Cause I need you yeah, yeah, but I need you, ooh

(All it takes is patience, yeah...)

I need you, ooh... (just a little patience, ooh...)

I need you, ooh... (is all you need)

This time...
