Let's Wait a Little Longer

(Billy Sherrill - Curly Putman)



Well, I can see you are not happy the way you've been actin'

And I think you'd like to be free

Well, I know he's a good man but I know that you can be

A whole lot happier with me.



In your eyes there's a yearnin' and inside you're a burnin'

And I'm the one who'll put out the flame

So let's get together like birds of a feather

And we'll let the love take the blame.



But right now I don't think that I can leave him

For lately he's been so good to me

And there might be one small chance that we could make it

So let's wait a little longer then we'll see.



But the way I can make you forget him 'cause I'll take you

To places that you've never been

Oh, we'll make all the night spots, the dim and the bright spots

And then we'll forget where we've been.



Well, we'll walk sunny beaches and taste Georgia peaches

And swing from Maine to Mexico

Well, if you'll come along we can make life a song

And you won't be tied down anymore.



But right now I don't think that I can leave him

Lately he's been so good to me

And there might be one small chance that things could work out

So let's wait a little longer then we'll see...
