Can't wait till we get back together
Can't wait, the sooner the better
It's late, I should have told you long ago
I hope that we can set things straight
What I've got in my heart won't wait
Tomorrow may be too late to apologise to you
Ooh I wish that it was tonight
With our troubles behind us, tonight
Go where no one can find us tonight
With no city to blind us tonight
As I sit here and say "oh gee"
As the feeling just sweeps over me
Takes me into the night floating free
In a skyward direction
My soul has been freed by your love and affection
Can't wait till we get back together
Can't wait, the sooner the better
It's late, and I still can't taste your kiss
And you know that a love like this
It just can't wait
It can't wait, no no no
It can't wait, no no no
It can't wait, no no no
It can't wait, no no no....
