Well I'm tired of this, baby
|
Ain't you tired too
|
We might as well admit
|
We bit too much to chew
|
???
|
Before it's too late, baby
|
They say the longer you wait
|
The tighter shut is the gate
|
|
We got nothing much in common
|
But it's just as well
|
Never intertwined
|
We was just parallel
|
We just didn't gel
|
Let's dissipate baby
|
The say the longer you wait
|
The tighter shut is the gate
|
|
Well now I just wanted peace and quiet
|
I stayed out of trouble
|
Every time I bit my tongue
|
My heartache doubled
|
Now this ain't as hard to figure
|
Out as a jigsaw puzzle
|
I can't find a reason now
|
To keep this thing muzzled
|
|
Well now my resolve's been waitin'
|
For several years straight
|
It's not that I won't miss you
|
But I just can't wait to celebrate
|
And I go wanderin', baby
|
They say the longer you wait
|
The tighter shut is the gate
|
Tighter shut now
|
|
|
This song is also known as The Gate
