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 should 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, love won't wait   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, love won't wait   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, take 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, love won't wait   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, take 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
