Don't Make Me Wait
Eternal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah
Don't make me wait for you
Come on now
Don't be a fool, just think about it baby
Don't make me wait for you
Precious is my time, don't funk around it baby

Suppose our love goes round and round
Before you know it's settled down
Give me a reason to say "I do"
I'm tired of playing this game with you
Oh my god, I can't deny it
Almost fell in love with you
Thinking everything would be so cool
Oh la la, oh my god, I've got to fight it
I never want to be with you
'Cause I never want to face the truth

Don't make me wait for you
Don't be a fool, just think about it baby
Don't make me wait for you
Precious is my time, don't funk around it baby

I feel a fire within my soul
Confuse my body and take control
Why do you play me, I feel so cold
Just want to please you, 'coz you're my one

Oh la la, oh my god, I can't deny it
Almost fell in love with you
Thinking eveything would be so cool
Oh la la, oh my god, I gotta fight it
Never want to be with you 'cause I never want to face the truth
Don't make me wait for you
Don't be a fool, just think about it baby
Don't make me wait for you
Precious is my time, don't funk around it baby

(Don't make me wait)
Don't make me wait for you, no

I'll be there for you
As I always do
I'll be there for you
'Cause your love is true

Don't make me wait for you
Don't be a fool, just think about it baby
Don't make me wait for you
Precious is my time, don't funk around it baby

(Don't make me wait for you)
Don't make me wait 'cause I'm dying for you
(Don't be a fool just think about it baby)
Give me your heart 'cause my love is so true
(Don't make me wait for you)
Don't make me wait 'cause I'm dying for you
(Precious is my time don't funk around it baby)
Give me your heart 'cause my love is so true
(Don't make me wait for you)
Don't make me wait for you




(Don't be a fool just think about it baby)
Don't make me wait
