Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm so above you and it's plain to see

But I came to love you anyway

So, you pulled my heart out and I don't mind bleeding

Any old time to keep me waiting, waiting, waiting

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

Oh, oh-oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

I'm a lonely boy, I'm a lonely boy

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

[Verse 2]

Well, your mama kept you, but your daddy left you

And I should've done you just the same

But I came to love you, am I born to bleed?

Any old time you keep me waiting, waiting, waiting

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

Oh, oh-oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

I'm a lonely boy, I'm a lonely boy

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

Oh, oh-oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting

I'm a lonely boy, I'm a lonely boy

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
