They say that good things come to those who wait

Lord knows I've been waiting all of my life

When I met you, girl, you were the best for me

I just wanted to feel that you'd always be there for me

We were one for a time, then we drifted apart

I was in love, but you didn't know what to do with my heart

All the flowers I sent, the letters I wrote to you

You wanted diamonds and gold, an old-fashioned love wouldn't do

I could tell by the way you walk

I could tell by the way you talk

It's over between you and me

You can't hide it in your eyes

When the love and the passion dies

It's over between you and me

People say that a love left alone can grow cold

Lord knows I didn't see our love growing old

When you left me, girl, you said it was best for me

I just didn't believe what you wanted was to be free

Our life was a picture that faded away

Bright colors that had slowly turned into gray

All the nights that I spent alone, now, I still think of you

You wanted diamonds and gold, but I just had love that was true

I could tell by the way you walk

I could tell by the way you talk

It's over between you and me

You can't hide it in your eyes

When the love and the passion dies

It's over between you and me

I could tell by the way you walk

I could tell by the way you talk

It's over between you and me

You can't hide it in your eyes
