Well, I'm standing here, freezing, outside your golden garden

Uh got my ladder, leaned up against your wall

Tonight's the night we planned to run away together

Come on Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall

But now you're telling me...



I think I better wait till tomorrow

I think I better wait till tomorrow

I think I better wait till tomorrow

Got to make sure it's right, so until tomorrow, goodnight.



Oh, Dolly Mae, how can you hang me up this way ?

Oh, on the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today

Now I'm standing here like some turned down serenading fool

Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed mind of you

And you keep tellin' me that ah...



I think we better wait till tomorrow

I think we better wait till tomorrow

Don't have to wait, Don't have to wait

I think we better wait till tomorrow

Got to make sure it's right, until tomorrow, goodnight, oh.



Ow ! Dolly Mae, girl, you must be insane

So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane

Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree ?

Click bang, what a hang, your daddy just shot poor me

And I hear you say, as I fade away...



We don't have to wait till tomorrow

We don't have to wait till tomorrow

We don't have to wait till tomorrow



Won't be around, Won't be around, Won't be around...
