1,2,1,2,3,4 
(whistle) 
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 
It'll work itself out fine 
All we need is just a little patience 
Said, sugar, make it slow 
And we come together fine 
All we need is just a little patience 
(patience) 
Mm, 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, 
I'll never break it 
'cause I can't take it 
(whistle) 
...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 
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, BUT I NEED YOU 
OO, I NEED YOU 
WHOA, I NEED YOU 
OO, ALL THIS TIME ** 
(ah)
