[Verse 1]
I'll wait by the windows
I'll wait by the door
To make sure you don't come home after dark
Now, I'll wait by the phone
I'll make sure I'm at home
I'll be there when your needin' you know what
Now I can tell you by the things you do
You don't know that I've been watching you
Now I don't understand your games or crazy plans
I'm here for you baby stop playing with my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I know what
I feel inside
I trust enough in what my heart tells me
Haven't I been good?
The way I should
Just act like a man and stay here and stand by my side

[Chorus]
I'll wait just a little more time
Just a little more time
To move in a new direction
I'll wait just a little more time
'Til you make up your mind
You know that you needed me too

[Verse 2]
Why now are you feeling so scared and unwilling?
To be there when someone's there for you
Why time has to be so unkind for no reason
But love has no measure this is true

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I know what
I feel inside
I trust enough
In what my heart tells me
Haven't I been good?
The way I should
I'm willing, I'm able
I need you to give me a sign

[Chorus]
I'll wait just a little more time
Just a little more time
To move in a new direction
I'll wait just a little more time
'Til you make up your mind
You know that you needed me too
I'll wait
Yes, I'll wait
Just a little more time
Baby, new directions
I'll wait just a little more time
'Til you make up your mind
I know that you needed me too

[Interlude]
Baby
Haven't I been good to you?
The way that I said I would be
Why are you leaving me now?

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I know what
I feel inside
I trust enough
In what my heart's been telling me
Haven't I been good?
The way I should
I'm willing I'm able
I need you to give me a sign

[Chorus]
I'll wait just a little more time
Just a little more time
To move in a new direction
I'll wait just a little more time
'Til you make up your mind
I know that you needed me to
I'll wait
Yes, I'll wait
I'll wait
Yes, I'll wait
I'll wait just a little more time
