Patience

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you every day now

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

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

(Patience)

Mmm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs

'Cause I'd rather be alone

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

Sometimes I get so tense

But I can't speed up the time

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

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

We won't fake it

Oh, I'll never break it

'Cause I can't take it

Little patience

Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah

I need a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Some more patience, yeah

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)
