How come you tell me that we have to get away?
But girl you can't be found
We'll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysees
When ever you come around
There's been a breakdown, breakdown
Don't change your mind on me, just take a little time
You say the finer things are worth waiting for
Just gimme some kind of sign, baby
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back me tears any longer, longer
Sometimes I think of all the moments that we shared
I been waiting for so long
You know it hurts me every time you run and hide
I look up and now your gone
I been put down, weighed down
There's no tomorrow for me
We can't let love just fade away, baby
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
Well, I've been longing for you deep inside
And I tell myself baby, baby if this love of ours will survive
Then let's take this chance together, together, baby we'll know
I just can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, look here
You pushed my heart around
Tore me up inside, made me feel so bad
You took away my pride
I keep waiting, waiting for a hundred years
I can't hold back my tears any longer
I can't hold back my tears
I can't hold back my tears baby
I can't hold back my tears oh darlin'
I can't hold back my tears baby
Oh I can't wait, baby baby baby
Don't talk to me, don't talk to me
Oh baby, I've been angry on you, oh
I can't, I can't wait, I can't, I can't wait, pretty baby
I can't wait, no no no don't baby, no no no don't baby
