Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
But still I try to smile
Girl I think about you everyday now
Was a time that I wasn't sure but you
Set my mind at ease
There is no doubt your in my heart now

Said woman take it slow
And things will be just fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar take the time and we'll come together fine

You and I will just use a little patience
Oh yea
I sit here on my stairs cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you alright ill wait here
Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time
In true no love there's one more thing to consider

Said woman take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I will just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time and will come together fine

You and I got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it
Oh we'll never break it
'Cause I couldn't take it

I've been walking the streets at night
Just trying to get a right
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd
And the streets don't change but maybe the names

I ain't got time for the pain
'Cause I need you yea e yea cause I need you




Oh I need you
Oh I need you this time
