[Verse 1]
I remember when
I was five and you were ten, boy
You knew that I was shy
So you teased and made me cry
But I loved you

Then one day you came
You told me you were leaving
You gave your folks the blame
And made me cry again
When you said

[Hook]
Little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come

Ooh, little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
And I'm still waiting

[Chorus]
I'm waiting
Ooh, still waiting
I'm just a fool
Ooh, I'm a fool
To keep waiting
For you
I'm waiting
Ooh, still waiting
Fot love
For you

[Verse 2]
Then someone finally came
He told me that he loved me
I put him off with lies
He could see I had no eyes
So he left me once again alone

Like a child without her playmate
I had to face the truth
I was still in love with you
But you said

[Hook]
Little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
Little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
And I'm still waiting

[Verse 3]
Love has never shown his face
Since the day
You walked out that door

You filled my life with empty space
Come back
Can't you see it's you I'm waiting for

[Chorus]
Don't you know I'm waiting
I'm waiting for love
For you
I miss you
I'm waiting
Come on back, boy
Come on back
Come on back
Come on back, boy
I need you
I want you
That's what my friends says
Oh buh huh
