lyrics

Imagine running into you...
My favorite restaurant... sittin’ in my favorite booth
I'm fine... how do you do?
Whoa... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude
Why don't you introduce me to your date?
Sorry, brotha... didn't catch your name...
Nice to meet ya, do you mind if I interrupt for a minute?
Be right over here in case you wonder where we went

You got me sittin’ out in the cold dark alleyway
You got me standin’ out in the cold wet rain
You got me wishin’ I never laid eyes on you again
But it's too late... I'll wait... I'll wait

Baby, I don't wanna waste your time
Just wanna pull you aside
Is he the best that you could do? [oh, hell no..!]
Don't you get used to him, 'cuz I'm waitin' on you

You got me sittin’ out in the cold dark alleyway
You got me standing out in the cold wet rain
You got me wishin’ I never laid eyes on you again
But it's too late... I'll wait... I'll wait

I didn't know how serious you were gettin’ this time
The nerve you got... it really blows my mind
I don't believe in two short weeks you find someone new
And since I don't believe then I won't cause a scene
'Cuz I know I'll be hearing from you
Just tell me what you want from me
You got the ring!.. what else can I sing?
My pride is gone... the nights are long
Without you I ain't got nothin'
My heart is wide... my mind is gone
My house is not a home no more
14 days and I'm still alone
You're goin’ out on dates... but I'll wait...

I'll wait on you... I'll wait on you...

No matter however long... I’ll wait
No matter 'right or wrong'... I’ll wait
No matter what anybody says... I’ll wait
Nobody can take your place... I’ll wait
