Patience

by Paula Toller



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'VE BEEN WALKIN' THESE 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 AINT 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)
