Verse 1
Shed a tear ’cause I’m missin’ 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-
–
Chorus
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”
Ooh, yeah
–
Verse 2
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
–
Chorus 2
Said, “Woman, take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I’ll just use a little patience”
Said, “Sugar, take the time ’cause the lights are shining bright
You and I’ve got what it takes to make it”
—
We won’t fake it
I’ll never break it
‘Cause I can’t take it
Little patience, yeah, yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah
—
I’ve been walkin’ the streets at night (yeah, yeah)
Just tryin’ to get it right (a little patience)
It’s hard to see with so many around (yeah, yeah)
You know I don’t like bein’ stuck in the crowd (could use some patience)
And the streets don’t change, but maybe the names (yeah, yeah)
I ain’t got time for the game ’cause I need you (gotta have more patience)
