And mama told me if I want her. I gotta take it slow

You just can't tell her, you gotta find other ways to let her know

But I don't understand this game

This is so new to me

I wanna tell her

I wanna take her in my arms



Give her time and maybe one-day she'll come around

And see the love I am offering

'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl

Heaven knows everyday I pray

That someday she will belong to me

'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl



She is my sunshine but her heart belongs to another man

She looks right through me, she only ever though of us as friends

But I'll keep holding back my heart

I will not let her see

I gonna bide my time

until the day she comes to me



Give her time and maybe one-day she'll come around

And see the love I'm offering

'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl

Heaven knows, everyday I pray

That someday she will belong to me

'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl



Give her time and maybe one-day she'll come around

And see the love I'm offering

'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl

Heaven knows, everyday I pray

That someday she will belong to me

'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
