I can't wait forever
Even though you want me to
I can't wait forever
To know if you'll be true
CHORUS
Time won't let me, oh no
Time won't let me, oh no
Time won't let me wait that long
Can't you see I've waited too long
To love to hold you in my arms
CHORUS
I can't wait forever
Even though you want me to
I can't wait forever
To know if you'll be true
CHORUS
I can't wait that long
I can't wait that long
I can't wait that long
Don't wanna wait that long
Not gonna wait that long
For you lovin' baby baby
Not gonna wait that long
