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
