Lyrics

You want your own
Now it's time for you to
Run on home
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
You better wait
Don't go away now, darling, wait
Why don't you stay?
You better wait
Don't go away now, darling, wait
Why don't you stay?
You say you want me, darling
I'm not your kind
I'm here to tell you, baby
You're mine
You better wait
Don't go away now, darling, wait
Why don't you stay?
You better wait
Don't go away now, darling, wait
Why don't you stay?
You better wait
Don't go away now, darling, wait
Why don't you stay?
You better wait
Don't go away now, baby, wait
Why don't you stay?
You better wait
Don't go away now, darling, wait
Why don't you stay?
You better wait
Wine is not our friend
You better wait
You better wait
You better wait
