I sit here, watching the clock tick
Why am I waiting?Sittin' on my bed now, waiting for you to come home
Countin' all the minutes, anticipating
It's about time now, you know our love is so real
Stronger than the feelings I've ever knownWhy am I waiting for you?
There's no time for dreaming, be true
Why am I waiting for you?
Respect my love, just be there, be trueTell me all my lonely nights, tell me
Don't wanna play your games
The way that I'm feeling, is it just a childish time?Show me your heart, show me your mind
Baby, don't be such a fool
'Cause you're treatin' me so cruelWhy am I waiting for you?
There's no time for dreamin', be true
Why am I waiting for you?
Respect my love, just be there, be trueDon't you think it's time to make it right
My love is too short to play around
Tell me that you believe in me, this is just a make believeBaby, show me your love, that is all I'm asking for
Baby, I need you, baby, I want you
Baby come homeWhy am I waiting for you?
There's no time for dreamin', be true
Why am I waiting for you?
Respect my love, just be there, be trueWhy am I waiting for you?
There's no time for dreamin', be true
Why am I waiting for you?
Respect my love, just be there, be trueWhy am I waiting for you?
Pack your bags, and now we're through
Why am I waiting for you?
'Cause I've done all I can doWhy am I waiting for you
When you can't even be true?
Why am I waiting for you?
I can't see why I'm waiting for youWhy am I waiting for you?
There's no time for dreamin', be true
Why am I waiting for you?
Respect my love, just be there, be trueWhy am I waiting for you?
There's no time for dreamin', be true
Why am I waiting for you?
Respect my love, just be there, be true
