Whoa, we've been talkin'

I guess there's been some talkin' to do

Yeah, you been balkin'

I've tried to be so patient with you

I give you all my lovin', all my heart and soul

You put yourself above it and you treat me cold

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been promises, promises but it's gettin' so late

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been too much trouble tryin' to keep it on straight

I'm wastin' away, my hair's turning gray

Don't ask me to stay, I can't wait

Yeah, you say you're only jokin'

Well, I can take a poke or two

No, you just been strokin'

Now I hope you choke on your food

The local did me fine, I didn't need express

But now my discombobulated mind's a mess

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been promises, promises but it's gettin' so late

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been too much trouble tryin' to keep it on straight

I'm wastin' away, my hair's turning gray

Don't ask me to stay, I can't wait

Yeah, yeah, yeah, when I think I finally got you primed

Whoa, you say a little more warm-up time

Aw

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been promises, promises but it's gettin' so late

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been too much trouble tryin' to keep it on straight

I'm wastin' away, my hair's turning gray

Don't ask me to stay, I can't wait

Yeah, yeah, yeah, when I think I finally got you primed

Whoa, you say a little more warm-up time

Well, no more warm-up time

Yeah, it's an endless repetition

Explaining my position to you

Now I'm out of ammunition

I think the competition is through

My mind is clearing and I'm gettin' small

That's me disappearin' baby, down the hall

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been promises, promises but it's gettin' so late

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been too much trouble tryin' to keep it on straight

I'm wastin' away, my hair's turning gray

Don't ask me to stay

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been promises, promises but it's gettin' so late

I can't wait, I can't wait

It's been too much trouble tryin' to keep it on straight

I'm wastin' away, my hair's turning gray

Don't ask me to stay, I can't wait

No, no, no, no

Wastin' away, I'm feeling the chain

Don't ask me to stay, don't ask me to stay

I can't wait, no

I can't wait, no

It's been too much time, it's been too much time

I can't wait
