Biding My Time

Times ain't like they used to be

I've been weeping by the willow tree

Oh darling, I'm biding my time

I'm not so wise, nor very smart

I took you for your word when you gave your heart

Oh darling, I'm biding my time

Some of what you said must have been true

I'll do nothing till I hear from you

Oh darling, I'm biding my time

You know what they say, old habits die so hard

You know what I do for the love of you

I just keep on hanging on

Have mercy on me, you know I'm just a fool

Who got hypnotized by the light in your eyes

Now what am I to do?

I've got nothing to be proud of

Lying shipwrecked on the bottom of the ocean of love

Oh darling, I'm biding all my time
