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

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 come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah

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

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, We won´´t fake it,
I´´ll never break it
´´cause I can´´t take it

[whistle]
...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need *

I BEEN WALKIN´´ THE STREETS AT NIGHT
JUST TRYIN´´ TO GET IT RIGHT
HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
YOU KNOW I DON´´T LIKE
BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
AND THE STREETS DON´´T CHANGE
BUT BABY THE NAME
I AIN´´T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
´´CAUSE I NEED YOU
YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
OO, I NEED YOU
WHOA, I NEED YOU
OO, ALL THIS TIME **
(ah)
