[Intro]

One, two

One, two, three, four

*Whistling*

[Verse 1]

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' 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

[Chorus]

Said, woman, take it slow, 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

[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, 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, 'cause the lights are shining bright

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

[Post-Chorus]

We won't fake it

Oh, I'll never break it

'Cause I can't take it

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Break]

*Whistling*

[Outro]

Little patience

Mm, yeah, ooh, yeah

Need a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Some more patience

I've been walkin' the streets tonight (Yeah)

Just tryna get it right (I need some patience)

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

You know I don't like bein' stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience)

And the streets don't change, but, baby, the names (Yeah)

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

Yeah, well, I need you (Yeah)

Ooh, I need you (All it takes is patience)

Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)

Ooh, this time (Is all you need)

Ah
