I remember when I was five Then you were ten, boy You knew that I was shy So you teased and made me cry But I loved you Then, one day, you came You told me you were leaving You gave your folks the blame And made me cry again When you said Little girl Please don't wait for me Wait patiently for love Some day, it will surely come Ooh, ooh Little girl Please don't wait for me Wait patiently for love Some day, it will surely come And I'm still waiting (Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh) I'm waiting (Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh) Ooh, still waiting (I'm just a fool) Oh, I'm a fool (I'm just a fool to keep waiting) To keep waiting (I'm just a fool) For you (I'm just a fool) Ooh, I'm waiting (I'm just a fool) I'm still waiting (I'm just a fool to keep waiting) For love (I'm just a fool) For you (I'm just a fool) Then someone finally came He told me that he loved me I put him off with lies He could see I had no eyes So, he left me Once again alone Like a child without her playmate I had to face the truth I was still in love with you But you said Little girl Please don't wait for me Wait patiently for love Some day, it will surely come Ooh, ooh Little girl Please don't wait for me Wait patiently for love Some day, it will surely come And I'm still waiting (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Love has never shown its face Since the day he walked out that door You filled my life with empty space Come back Can't you see it's you I'm waiting for? (I'm just a fool) Don't you know I'm waiting? (I'm just a fool to keep waiting) Ooh, I'm waiting (I'm just a fool) For love (I'm just a fool) For you (fool, I'm just a fool) I miss you (I'm just a fool to keep waiting) Ooh, I'm waiting (I'm just a fool) Come on back, boy (I'm just a fool) Come back (I'm just a fool), come back Come back, boy (I'm just a fool to keep waiting) Ooh, I need ya (I'm just a fool) Ooh, hoo and I want you (I'm just a fool) That's what I'm afraid to say (fool, I'm just a fool) A fool (I'm just a fool to keep waiting) But I'm still waiting (I'm just a fool) For you (I'm just a fool) Come back, boy (I'm just a fool)

All my friends tell me About the loves they've had Can't they see what they're doing to me? It makes me feel so bad 'Cause I'm so alone And brokenhearted It ain't like my life is ended But more like it never started The love my friends rap about I keep anticipating I try so hard but don't you know, my patience is fading away, away Still waiting I'm waiting for that love Still waiting I wish on every star above Still waiting Waiting for the love to come around Oh, love Waiting for the love to come around People say that I'm too young Too young to fall in love But they don't know, they really don't know That's all that I've been dreaming of 'Cause I spend my nights just a-crying And I spend my days just a-trying To find that love to call my own 'Cause I'm sick and tired of being alone Still waiting Waiting for that love Still waiting I wish on every star above Still waiting I'm waiting for the love to come around (Waiting for the love) don't you know that I'm waiting (Waiting for the love) say (Waiting for the love) to come around now I need somebody to hold on to baby Waiting and waiting, don't you know that I'm Still waiting I'm waiting for the love, sugar Still waiting If you're out there girl, please come to me Still waiting Don't make me cry no more Still waiting If you're out there, baby, please come to me Still waiting Wishing and wishing for days, baby Still waiting For this world to stop hating

Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love We've been in a stalemate so long Like being locked up in a prison (Locked up in a prison) And I don't want to be that way with you Release Release the tension There's too much tension in the world today Release Show some emotion And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on Release (Release) Release the tension (Release) There's too much tension in the world today Release (Release) Show some emotion (Release) And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on We've been at a standstill so long And it's not getting any better (Not getting any better) Slowly, slowly, slowly Drifting apart Oh, release Release the tension There's too much tension in the world today Release Show some emotion And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on, rock on Release (Release) Release the tension (Release) There's too much tension in the world today Release (Release) Show some emotion (Release) And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on, rock on Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love Release Release the tension There's too much tension In the world today Release Show some emotion And let the motion Rock us away, rock on, rock on, rock on Release Release the tension There's too much tension in the world today Oh, you got to release Show some emotion Then let the motion rock us away, Rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on Wooo Hooo (Release, show some emotion) (And let the motion) (Rock us away) (Rock on, rock on, rock on... Release some tension, there's so much tension...)

Looking back on when I Was a little nappy headed boy Then my only worry Was for Christmas what would be my toy Even though we sometimes Would not get a thing We were happy with the Joy the day would bring Sneaking out the back door To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Greeted at the back door With boy thought I told you not to go outside Tryin' your best to bring the Water to your eyes Thinkin' it might stop her Grom woopin' your behind I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go Cause I love them so Brother says he's tellin' 'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl Just don't tell I'll give you Anything you want in this whole wide world Mama gives you money for Sunday school You trade yours for candy after church is through Smokin' cigarettes and writing Something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy) Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go
