When I first saw your face Knew that I could not hesitate You said, "Baby don't go too fast If we do then it may not last" Time went on and I waited for you I didn't know what else I could do (What else could I do?) I thought that we'd always be together You said, "Hold on, it just gets better" And I believed you I kept holding on You think that I can never leave you? You think I'm not that strong You're wrong Love won't wait (love won't wait) Forever and a day (forever and a day) Love must live in the here and now Don't ask me how I know So here I am with my heart on my sleeve You said, "Baby, put your trust in me" But I have come to the end of the line And you've wasted up all of my precious time Wanted to be something special to you Everybody's somebody's fool (Won't be a fool) No, you've got me all wrong (You've got me all wrong) You don't know what you have 'Till it's gone And I believed you I kept holding on You think that I can never leave you? You think I'm not that strong You're wrong Love won't wait (love won't wait) Forever and a day (forever and a day) Love must live in the here and now Don't ask me how I know Love takes time (Love takes time) But you've been takin' too long (Takin' too long) Time never waited for anyone Don't wait too long Or I'll be gone Don't wait too long I'll be gone I'll be gone (Or there) There wasn't anything That I wouldn't do (And you) You led me on You even said, "I love you" (I love you, baby) How can we go on When it's tearin' us apart? (How can we love) Are you going to break my heart? 'Cause I believed you Love won't wait (love won't wait) Forever and a day (forever and a day) Love must live in the here and now Don't ask me how I know Love takes time (Love takes time) But you've been takin' too long (Takin' too long) Time never waited for anyone Don't wait too long Or I'll be gone Don't wait too long I'll be gone I'll be gone Love takes time Don't let this love just pass by us It's not too late, you must choose Love is so hard to find And so easy to lose
