Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing 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'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience, patience, patience
Ooh, oh, 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
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use just a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights they shine so bright
'Cause you and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, ooh never break it
'Cause I can't take it

'Cause a little patience, yeah, yeah
'Cause a little patience, yeah, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah, yeah

I've been walkin' these streets at night
Just tryin' to get it right
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like bein' stuck in a crowd
And the streets don't change but maybe the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you
Whoa, I need you
Ooh, this time
