[Verse 1]

Can I get you to give me a minute of your time?

Can I get you to slip me the answer?

Can I get you to show me a little of your mime?

You were always a very good dancer

[Verse 2]

I'd be happy to show you a bit of what I found

I'd be happy to share in its beauty

I'd be happy to lay low, inevitably bound

I would only be doing my duty

[Pre-Chorus]

I wait (I wait)

I wait (I wait)

I can wait

I can wait back in the bar

I can wait, I can wait

I can wait back in the car

I'll be waiting for you

[Chorus]

Stranglehold, you know you've got one on me

I don't want to go without ya

Stranglehold, you've got me where you want me

But I want to know more about ya

I want to know more about ya

[Verse 3]

Are you willing to wager a little of your life?

Are you willing to take such a gamble?

Are you ready to walk on the edge of the knife?

Then I think we can skip the preamble

[Pre-Chorus]

I wait (I wait)

I wait (I wait)

I can wait

I can wait

I can wait back in the bar

I can wait, I can wait

I can wait back in the car

I'll be waiting for you

I'll be waiting

[Chorus]

Stranglehold, you know you've got one on me

I don't want to go without ya

Stranglehold, you've got me where you want me

And I want to know more about ya

I want to know more about ya

[Outro]

I can wait

I can wait back in the bar

I can wait, I can wait

I can wait back in the car

I'll be waiting for you
