Well, the first time I saw you

I knew I'd be makin' a mistake

Big room, big house, big car, some kind of real estate

Then you said you'd like to marry me

Take me to the sunny side of Spain

That's when I told her, you got the cold shoulder

And this is what I said...

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah!

Go and tell it to your brother

But don't say nothin' to your mother

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah!

Rock a mile, candy smile, yeah!

You better come when you are ready

Or go on home to your daddy

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

She shoved me in the corner

She said that she wanted to know why

You're great in bed, but babe drop dead, marriage ain't my style

Well, she got down in the corner

And told me 'bout the sunny side of Spain

That's when I told her, you got the cold shoulder

And this is what I said...

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah!

You'd better tell it to your brother

But don't say nothin' to your mother

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah!

Rock a mile, candy smile, yeah!

You better come when you are ready

Or go on home to your daddy

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah!

You'd better tell it to your brother

Ah, don't say nothin' to your mother

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah!

Rock a mile, candy smile, yeah!

You better come when you are ready

Or go on home to your daddy

Wait a while, yeah, Aaah!

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah!

You better come when you are ready

Or go on home to your daddy

Wait a while, wait a while, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
