Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you every day now

[Verse 2]

Was a time when I wasn't sure

But you set my mind at ease

There is no doubt you're in my heart now

[Chorus]

Said woman, take it slow, it will work itself out fine

All we need is just a little patience

Said sugar, make it slow, and we'll come together fine

All we need is just a little patience

[Chorus]

(Patience)

Mmm, yeah

[Verse 3]

I sit here on the stairs

'Cause I'd rather be alone

If I can't have you right now I'll wait, dear

[Verse 4]

Sometimes I get so tense

But I can't speed up the time

But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider

[Chorus]

Said woman, take it slow and things will be just fine

You and I'll just use a little patience

Said sugar, take the time, 'cause the lights are shining bright

You and I've got what it takes to make it

[Chorus]

We won't fake it

Oh, I'll never break it

'Cause I can't take it

[Outro]

Little patience

[Outro]

Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah

I need a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Some more patience, yeah

[Outro]

I've been walking these streets at night

Just trying to get it right (A little patience, yeah)

It's hard to see with so many around

You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (I could use some patience, yeah)

And the streets don't change but maybe the names

I ain't got time for the games (Gotta have more patience, yeah)

'Cause I need you, yeah

Well, I need you

Ooh, I need you (All it takes is patience)

Well, I need you (Just a little patience)

Ooh, this time (It's all we need)
