Love Won't Let Me Wait Lyrics
Paul Young
Lyrics
The time is right, you hold me tight
Love's got me high
Please tell me yes, don't say no
Honey, not tonight
I need to have you next to me
And always the one
And I refuse leave 'till I see the morning sun
Creep through your window pane'Cause love won't let me wait
Not one minute baby
The time is right to never lie
Take my hand
We'll take a flight and spend a night
In wonderland now move a little closer to me
You owe it to yourself and I will selfishly
Take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait oh no girl
I need your love so desperately
And only you can set me free
When I make love to you
We'll explode in extasy
And I won't take the blame
That love won't let me wait
I just got to see you again baby
Oh don't you know
I won't ever be with anybody like you
You know that's true baby
