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 youThen one day you came
You told me you were leaving
You gave your folks the blame
And made me cry again
When you saidLittle 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 waitingI'm waiting
Ooh, still waiting
I'm just a fool
Ooh, I'm a fool
To keep waitingThen 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: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 waitingLove 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 forDon't you know I'm waiting
I'm waiting for love
For you, I miss you
I'm waiting
Come on back, boy
I need you
I want you
That's what my friends says
