Why Wait (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put your trust in me
I won't let you down
Don't delay the things
That you want right now

[Pre-Chorus]
Why wait for later?
Hey, don't you want some action?
I'm not a waiter
I like to make things happen
Something's coming on, coming on strong
Don't take too long
Don't you wanna know?
Baby, come home (Oh)

[Chorus]
One more night with you
I won't think it through
Time's money, but you knew
There's nothing in the world
You can think of that I won't do to you

[Bridge]
I'm gonna dance through the veil of your eyes
While you follow my steps in the sand
I see your fate in the palm of your hand
No one looks, no one hears us this time
It's only me and your conscience tonight
If there arе no witnesses, therе is no crime
[Pre-Chorus]
Why wait for later?
I'm not a waiter
Something's coming on, coming on strong
Don't take too long
Don't you wanna know?
Baby, come home

[Chorus]
One more night with you
I won't think it through
Time's money, but you knew
There's nothing in the world
You can think of that I won't do to you

[Outro]
You, you
You, you
You, you
You, you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
