Looking at the bare spot on the bedroom wall brought home the honest truth to me
The picture hanging there was just another treasure I had lost so foolishly
It took all this to realize the talks we had meant she was tired of playing
And now I see she needed more of what I wasn't doing or saying

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

Promises don't push aside the fact that I had taken her for granted
Just a touch to let her know how much I really cared was all she wanted
But it's too late to change her mind when you're just a memory behind her
So take her in your arms and make her see she's the one you'll want forever

Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

Hold her and she'll be satisfied
She needs loving all the time

Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
