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
|
