[Verse 1]
You keep on asking me
"Why can't we be together?"
I keep saying "Won't you wait a while?"
What's all the hurry?
I thought we had forever
I just need time 'til I can make up my mind
I'm not asking for a love to last forever
I don't expect to get a guarantee
It's just that I believe
Lovers should stick together
I'm only saying, won't you wait for me?

[Chorus]
I've got to be, got to be certain
I've got to be so sure
I've had my share of hearts broken
And I don't wanna take that any more

[Verse 2]
I've got some friends who say
Boys are all the same
They're only looking out for just one thing
I'm only hoping that
You won't turn out like that
I need some time 'til I can make up my mind
Been hurt in love before
But I still come back for more
Was such a fool, I couldn't stop myself
If you believe in me
If you want our love to be
I know you'll wait for me, oh

[Chorus]
I've got to be, got to be certain
I've got to be so sure
I've had my share of hearts broken
And I don't wanna take that any more
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
I'm not asking for a love to last forever
I don't expect to get a guarantee
It's just that I believe
Lovers should stick together
I'm only saying, won't you wait for me?

[Chorus]
I've got to be, got to be certain
I've got to be so sure
I've had my share of hearts broken
And I don't wanna take that any more
I've got to be, got to be certain
I've got to be so sure
I've had my share of hearts broken
And I don't wanna take that any more
I've got to be, got to be certain
I've got to be so sure
I've had my share of hearts broken
And I don't wanna take that any more

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
