Why Wait?
Bachelor Girl Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You must have noticed by now
How I give you crazy reasons
To keep hangin' round
You should have figured it out
When I'm standing so close to you
I must leave no doubt

If I want something

I don't hesitate
When a good thing calls to me
Why wait?

CHORUS
If you're tryin' to stop me falling in love with you
It's too late
It's too late
If you're takin' it slow, but your heart wants me so
Why wait?
If it's fate
Why wait?

I try to read all the signs
Are you seeking my company
Am I on your mind
You always greet me so tender
As if something more you'd like to say
Lies between the lines

Don't be uncertain
That I feel this way
When a sure thing calls to you
Why wait?

CHORUS
If you're tryin' to stop me falling in love with you
It's too late
It's too late
If you're takin' it slow, but your heart wants me so
Why wait?
If it's fate
Why wait?

Can you surrender
And trust in me?
Can you believe in destiny?

If you want something
Don't hestitate
I'm a good thing here for you so
Why wait?

CHORUS
If you're tryin' to stop me falling in love with you
It's too late
It's too late
If you're takin' it slow, but your heart wants me so
Why wait?

If it's fate
Why wait?
