When I first saw your face

Knew that I could not hesitate

You said, "baby don't go too fast

If we do then it may not last"

Time went on and I waited for you

I didn't know what else I could do

(What else should I do)

I thought that we'd always be together

You said, "hold on, it just gets better"

And I believed you

I kept holding on

You think that I can never leave you

You think I'm not that strong

You're wrong

[Chorus]

Love won't wait (love won't wait)

Forever and a day (love won't wait)

Love must live in the here and now

Don't ask me how I know

So here I am with my heart on my sleeve

You said, "baby put your trust in me"

But I have come to the end of the line

And you've wasted up all of my precious time

Wanted to be something special to you

Everybody's somebody's fool

(Won't be a fool)

No, you've got me all wrong

(You've got me all wrong)

You don't know what you have

Till it's gone

And I believed you

I kept holding on

You think that I can never leave you

You think I'm not that strong

You're wrong

[Repeat chorus]

Love takes time (love takes time)

But you've been takin' too long

(Take too long)

Time never waited for anyone

Don't wait too long

Or I'll be gone

Don't wait too long

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

(Or there) there wasn't anything

That I wouldn't do

(And you) you led me on

You even said, "I love you"

(I love you, baby)

How can we go on

When it's tearin' us apart

(How can we love)

Are you going to break my heart?

'cause I believed you

[Repeat chorus]

Love takes time (love takes time)

But you've been takin' too long

(Take too long)

Time never waited for anyone

Don't wait too long

Or I'll be gone

Don't wait too long

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

Love takes time

Don't let this love just pass by us

It's not too late, you must choose

Love is so hard to find

And so easy to lose
