Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you every day now

Was a time when I wasn't sure

But you set my mind at ease

There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said "Woman, take it slow and it'll work itself out fine"

All we need is just a little patience

Said "Sugar, make it slow and we'll come together fine"

All we need is just a little patience

(Patience) ooh, yeah

I sit here on the stairs 'cause I'd rather be alone

If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear

Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time

But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider

Said "Woman, take it slow and things will be just fine"

You and I'll just use a little patience

Said "Sugar, take the time 'cause the lights are shinin' bright"

You and I've got what it takes to make it

We won't fake it, oh, I'll never break it

'Cause I can't take it

(Little patience, yeah, yeah)

(Need a little patience, yeah)

(Just a little patience, yeah)

(Some more patience, yeah) I've been walking the streets at night

Just trying to get it right (a little patience, yeah)

It's hard to see with so many around

You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd (could use some patience, yeah)

And the streets don't change but maybe the names

I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you (gotta have more patience, yeah)

Yea-yeah, but I need you (all need more patience)

Oh, I need you (all need some patience)

Oh, I need you (just a little patience)

Ooh this time (is all you need)
