| When he calls you
|
| You don’t have to answer right away
|
| Make him wait
|
| And when he small talks
|
| Before he asks you on a date
|
| Make him wait
|
| When his Pontiac’s in the driveway
|
| And his eyes are midnight blue
|
| Take a deep breath
|
| Do the opposite of what you wanna do
|
| Make him wait
|
| By the phone
|
| At the door to meet your dad
|
| Before that first kiss, he’s gotta hold your hand
|
| You can’t get it back when you give yourself away
|
| Yeah a boy’s gonna run but a real man’s gonna stay
|
| Girl, make him wait
|
| Make him wait
|
| And when he says that
|
| It’d be easier if you just stay the night
|
| Make him wait
|
| You’re gonna wanna
|
| And you’re thinking you just might
|
| But make him wait
|
| Make him wait
|
| By the phone
|
| At the door to meet your dad
|
| Before that first kiss, he’s gotta hold your hand
|
| You can’t get it back when you give yourself away
|
| Yeah a boy’s gonna run but a real man’s gonna stay
|
| Girl, make him wait
|
| Make him wait
|
| They taught me love is worth the weight in gold
|
| Like that ring on your hand
|
| So when you find the one
|
| The staying kind
|
| Then he won’t mind
|
| If you make him wait
|
| In his tux
|
| Cello sings you down the aisle
|
| Walk slow, take your time
|
| While your daddy cries and your momma smiles
|
| When they’re throwing rice into the air
|
| And those tin cans roll away
|
| And you look into his eyes
|
| And realize it was worth the while
|
| To make him wait
|
| Make him wait |
