[Intro]

This is something that made me sick hearin' it on the radio

I think it made everybody in our band sick hearin' it on the radio

But it's somethin' we could all use, I'm sure

Somethin' called "Patience"

Hit me with some Rod Steward, baby


[Instrumental Break]

*Whistling*


[Verse 1]

I shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you every day now

There 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


[Chorus]

Said, woman, take it slow, it'll work itself out fine

'Cause all we need is just a little patience

Said, sugar, make it slow and we can come together fine

'Cause all we need is just a little patience

Patience, patience, patience


[Verse 2]

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, that there's one more thing to consider


[Chorus]

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 because the lights, they shine so bright

You and I've got what it takes to make it

We won't fake it

Oh, never break it

'Cause I couldn't take it

Ah


[Guitar Solo]


[Instrumental Break]


[Outro]

Ooh, yeah

Little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience

I've been walkin' the streets at night (Yeah)

Just tryin' to get it right (A little patience)

It's hard to see with so many around (Yeah)

You know I don't like bein' stuck in a crowd

(Just a little patience)

And the streets won't change, but, baby, the name (Yeah)

I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you (Gotta have more patience)

Yeah, yeah, but I need you (Yeah)

Oh, I need you

Oh, I need you

This time, yeah

I think it's more cover tune time

Oh, thank you

This is the ballad set, right now
