(I sit here watching the clock tick)

(Why am I waiting)



Sitting on my bed now, waiting for you to come home

Counting all the minutes, anticipating

It's about time now, you know our love is so real

Stronger than the feelings I've ever known



Why am I waiting for you

There's no time for dreaming, be true

Why am I waiting for you

Respect my love, just be there, be true



Tell me all my lonely nights, tell me

Don't wanna play your games

The way that I'm feeling

Is it just a childish time

Show me your heart, show me your mind

Baby don't be such a fool

'Cause you're treating me so cruel



Why am I waiting for you

There's no time for dreaming, be true

Why am I waiting for you

Respect my love, just be there, be true



Don't you think it's time to make it right

My love is too short to play around

Tell me that you believe in me

This is just a make believe

Baby show me your love

That is all I'm asking for

Baby I need you, baby I want you

Baby come home



Why am I waiting for you

There's no time for dreaming, be true

Why am I waiting for you

Respect my love, just be there, be true



Why am I waiting for you

There's no time for dreaming, be true

Why am I waiting for you

Respect my love, just be there, be true



Why am I waiting for you

Pack your bags and now we're through

Why am I waiting for you

'Cause I've done all I can do

Why am I waiting for you

When you can't even be true

Why am I waiting for you

I can't see why I'm waiting for you



[repeat chorus to fade]
