Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you everyday 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
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) Mmm, 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 shining 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, mm yeah, mm yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah

need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need

I been walkin' the streets at night
Just tryin' to get it right
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd
And the streets don't change, but baby the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you

Yeah, yeah, well I need you
Ooh, I need you
Whoa, I need you
Ooh, this time
