Wait
Jacksons · Other Songs - Jacksons
But girl you can't be found
We'll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysees
Whenever you come around
There's been a breakdown, breakdown
Don't change your mind on me
Just take a little time
You say the finer things are worth waiting for
Just gimme some kind of sign, baby.
CHORUS
I can't wait, (wait) wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer
no no
I can't wait, (wait) wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back me tears any longer
no no oh woh
Sometimes I think of all the moments that we shared
I been waiting for so long
You know it hurts me every time you run and hide
I look up and now your gone
I been put down, weighed down
There's no tomorrow for me
We can't let love just fade away, baby
CHORUS
I can't wait, (wait) wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer
no no
I can't wait, (wait) wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back me tears any longer
Well, I've been longing for you deep inside
And I tell myself, baby,baby
If this love of ours will survive
Then let's take this chance
Together, together, baby
We'll know.
CHORUS
I can't wait, (wait) wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer,
no no
I can't wait, (wait) wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back me tears any longer,
Look here
You pushed my heart around
Tore me up inside
Made me feel so bad
You took away my pride
I keep waiting
Waiting for a hundred years
I can't hold back my tears
Any longer
I can't hold back my tears
Any longer
I can't hold back my tears baby
Any longer
I can't hold back my tears darling
Any longer
I can't hold back my tears baby
Any longer
