Contemplatin' every day

Wonderin' if I'm wastin' all of my time

You know I'm dedicatin' every thought on only you



My mama used to tell me that patience is a virtue



And so I wait through the night

Cause tomorrow you might find

That you will need me again

For some tender lovin' care

So I wait hopin' you

Will discover you're in love

That you need me

As much as I need you

And so I wait all my life

Hopin' one day you will see

That love's a lock

You're the key

You will come and rescue me

So I wait hopin' you

Will discover you're in love

That you need me

As much as I need you



It gets frustratin' time and again

But I am not complainin' cause in the end

If I just keep believin'

No matter what, I'll be with you



My mama used to tell me that patience is a virtue



And so I wait through the night

Cause tomorrow you might find

That you will need me again

For some tender lovin' care

So I wait hopin' you

Will discover you're in love

That you need me

As much as I need you

And so I wait all my life

Hopin' one day you will see

That love's a lock

You're the key

You will come and rescue me

So I wait hopin' you

Will discover you're in love

That you need me

As much as I need you



That patience is a virtue

That patience is a virtue

That patience is a virtue



And so I wait through the night

Cause tomorrow you might find

That you will need me again

For some tender lovin' care

So I wait hopin' you

Will discover you're in love

That you need me

As much as I need you

And so I wait all my life

Hopin' one day you will see

That love's a lock

You're the key

You will come and rescue me

So I wait hopin' you

Will discover you're in love

That you need me

As much as I need you
