when i first saw your face
i knew that I couldn't hesitate
You said 'baby don't go too fast'
if we do then it may not last
time went on and i waited for you
i didn't know what else i could do
i thought that we'd always be together 
you said 'hold on it just gets better'

chorus :

and i believed you
i kept holding on 
you think that i could never leave you
you think i'm not that strong 
you're wrong

love won't wait(love won't wait) 
forever and a day(love won't wait)
love was living a year and now
don't ask me how i know(love won't wait)

now here i am with my heart on my sleeve
you said 'baby put your trust in me'
but i have come to the end of my line
and you have taken up all of my precious time
i hoped to be something special to you
everybody's somebody's fool
won't be your fool
no you got me all wrong
you won't know that you had 'til it's gone

repeat choros

love takes time(love takes time)
but you've been taking too long(way too long)
time never waited for anyone 
don't wait too long 
or i'll be gone
(love own't wait)

o...there wasn't anything that i wouldn't do
you led me on
you even said 'i love you'
how can we go on
when it's tearing us apart 
are you going to break my heart?

repeat choros

love won't wait(love won't wait)
forever and a day(love won't wait)
love was living a year and now
don't ask me how i know

'cause love takes time
but you've been taking too long
time never waited for any one 
don't wait too long 
or i'll be gone
i'll be gone
