Don't Wait Up

I said to the river running through my heart You got a long way to go until the waters part Come the clouds rollin' in and all the people hide They say run, run baby to the sunny side I said to the preacher standing at my door Why you chasin' a rainbow when you got a star? He said you're gonna be sorry if you open that lid I said it's too late daddy I already did Oh, oh, don't wait up for me Oh, ooh, 'cause you ain't gonna like what you see No, no, no Don't wait up for me, don't wait up for me I looked at the clock and it was quarter to twelve I started counting the minutes to the freedom bell I said the midnight hour is gonna take me home And today's sorrow will be here no more I said Oh, oh, don't wait up for me Oh, ooh, 'cause you ain't gonna like what you see No, no, no Oh, no, oh, don't wait up for me Oh, ooh, 'cause you ain't gonna like what you see No, no, no Oh, oh, don't wait up for me Oh, ooh, 'cause you ain't gonna like what you see No, no, no Oh, oh, don't wait up for me Oh, ooh, 'cause you ain't gonna like what you see No, no, no Don't wait up for me Oh no, don't wait up for me Don't wait up for me Oh, don't wait up for me
