Wait a minute
I've been calling out to you
There's nothing more you can say to make me stay
This time I swear I'll stand firm to my word

Wait a minute
I've cried my last cry for the last time
See you've stayed away a day too late
I've hurt for too long boy, now you've got to pay

I gotta dozen things on my mind
Issues with you are the first in line
I never thought it would be true
I was labeled a fool for chasing after you

Shoulda known what to do
Repercussions all because of you
Manipulating, aggravating
All of these things come to mind

But wait a minute
I've been calling out to you
There's nothing more you can say to make me stay
This time I swear I'll stand firm to my word

Wait a minute
I've cried my last cry for the last time
See you've stayed away a day too late
I've hurt for too long boy, now you've got to pay

I've wasted far too much time boy
Yes I have
Blaming myself when you're wrong
Can't go on year after year

And if you really, really loved me
Like you say you do
You woulda took up for my heart from the start
Instead you led me on, tell me why

Now I understand why
You strayed away day after day
You just weren't the man that no, no
Was meant to be for me, for me

Wait a minute
I've been calling out to you
There's nothing more you can say to make me stay
This time I swear I'll stand firm to my word

Wait a minute
I've cried my last cry for the last time
See you've stayed away a day too late
I've hurt for too long boy, now you've got to pay

Wait a minute
I've been calling out to you
There's nothing more you can say to make me stay
This time I swear, this time I swear
