[Verse 1]
Well, I'm standing here freezing
Inside your golden garden
I got my ladder leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on, Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall
But now you're telling me
[Chorus]
I think we better wait till tomorrow (Yeah, yeah, hey)
I think we better wait till tomorrow (Girl, what you talkin' 'bout?)
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Gotta make sure it's right
So until tomorrow, goodnight
[Refrain]
Oh, what a drag
[Verse 2]
Oh, Dolly Mae, how can you hang me out this way?
On the phone, you said
You wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm standing here
Like some turned-down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed-up mind of you
And you keep telling me that, uh
[Chorus]
I think we better wait till tomorrow (What are you talkin' 'bout?)
I think we better wait till tomorrow (No, I can't wait that long)
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Gotta make sure it's right
Until tomorrow, goodnight
[Refrain]
See if I can talk to this girl a little bit here
[Verse 3]
Oh, Dolly Mae, girl, you must be insane
So unsure of yourself
Leaning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette
Of somebody pointing something from a tree?
Click, bang
What a hang, your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say, as I fade away
[Verse 4]
We don't have to wait till tomorrow (Hey!)
We don't have to wait till tomorrow (What you say?)
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It must not have been right
So forever goodnight, listen at you
[Chorus]
We don't have to wait till tomorrow (Aye, don't have to wait, don't have to wait)
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It's a drag on my part
We don't have to wait till tomorrow (Don't have to wait)
[Outro]
We don't have to wait till tomorrow (Don't have to wait, don't have to wait)
We don't have to wait till tomorrow (Don't have to wait, don't have to wait)
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
Gon' get around tomorrow, yeah!
We don't have to wait till tomorrow (Don't have to wait)
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
