early in the morning, just by the break of day

well that's when my patience went away

she took her bags but she left all her clothes

she took her keys and left me out in the cold

wearing a plastic coat

and the pressures of life through lack of patience

i get the pressures of her

patience is a girl that i hate to love the way i do, but i do

she wakes me up in the morning through squeaking in my dreams

she took her bags but she left all her clothes

she took her keys and left me out in the cold

all because of patience

i get the pressures of life through lack of patience

i get the pressures of her

she beat me up and left me out in the pouring rain

without no keys, without no reason to go back again

she left me empty-handed, she left me empty-hearted

not no money, not nothing but the blues

all because of patience

i get the pressures of life through lack of patience

i get the pressures of her

she said the one thing that she needs is happiness

i don't believe that she's happy 'til she sees that i'm in distress

no, all because of patience

i get the pressures of life through lack of patience

i get the pressures of her

and i swoon
