When I first saw your face
Knew that I could not hesitate
You said, 'Baby don't go too fast
If we do then it may not last'

Time went on and I waited for you
I didn't know what else I could do
What else should I do?
I thought that we'd always be together
You said, 'Hold on, it just gets better'

And I believed you, I kept holding on
You think that I can never leave you
You think I'm not that strong, you're wrong

Love won't wait, love won't wait
Forever and a day, love won't wait
Love must live in the here and now
Don't ask me how I know

So, here I am with my heart on my sleeve
You said, 'Baby put your trust in me'
But I have come to the end of the line
And you've wasted up all of my precious time

Wanted to be something special to you
Everybody's somebody's fool, won't be a fool
No, you've got me all wrong, you've got me all wrong
You don't know what you have till it's gone

And I believed you, I kept holding on
You think that I can never leave you
You think I'm not that strong, you're wrong

Love won't wait, love won't wait
Forever and a day, love won't wait
Love must live in the here and now
Don't ask me how I know

Love takes time, love takes time
But you've been takin' too long, take too long
Time never waited for anyone, don't wait too long
Or I'll be gone, don't wait too long, I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Or there, there wasn't anything that I wouldn't do
And you, you led me on, you even said, 'I love you'
I love you, baby, how can we go on when it's tearin' us apart
How can we love, are you going to break my heart?
'Cause I believed you

Love won't wait, love won't wait
Forever and a day, love won't wait
Love must live in the here and now
Don't ask me how I know

Love takes time, love takes time
But you've been takin' too long, take too long
Time never waited for anyone, don't wait too long
Or I'll be gone, don't wait too long, I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Love takes time, don't let this love
Just pass by us, it's not too late
You must choose, love is so hard to find
And so easy to lose
