(one, two, three, four...)
shed a tear
'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
girl, I think about you
every day now
was a time when I wasn't sure
but you set my mind at ease
there is no doubt
you're in my heart now
said, "woman, take it slow
and it'll work itself out fine
all we need is just a little patience"
said, "sugar, make it slow
and we'll come together fine
all we need is just a little patience"
patience, mm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs
'cause I'd rather be alone
if I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
sometimes I get so tense
but I can't speed up the time
but you know, love
there's one more thing to consider
said, "woman, take it slow
and things will be just fine
you and I'll just use
a little patience"
said, "sugar, take the time
'cause the lights are shining bright
you and I've got what it takes
to make it, we won't fake it
I'll never break it
'cause I can't take it"
a little patience, mm, yeah, mm, yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
I've been walking the streets at night
just tryin' to get it right
(need some patience, yeah)
it's hard to see with so many around
you know, I don't like
being stuck in the crowd
(could use some patience, yeah)
and the streets don't change
but, baby, the names
I ain't got time on a game
(gotta have some patience, yeah)
'cause I need you
yeah, yeah, but I need you, ooh
(all it takes is patience, yeah)
I need you, ooh
(just a little patience, ooh)
I need you, ooh
(is all you need)
this time
