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'll 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)
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, 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, I'll never break it,
'cause I can't take it.
Little patience, yeah, oh yeah,
need a little patience, yeah,
just a little patience, yeah,
some more patience, yeah,
need some patience, yeah,
could use some patience, yeah,
gotta have some patience, yeah,
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience,
is all you need.
I've been walkin' these streets at night, just tryin' to get it right.
It's hard to see with so many around, you know I don't like being stuck in the crowd.
And the streets don't change but maybe the name, I ain't got time for the game,
'cause I need you, yeah, yeah, well I need you,
oh, I need you, whoa, I need you,
oh, this time...
