Don't Keep Me Waiting
Michelle Gayle Lyrics

It's been too hard
I've been persevering through the tough times, hoping to be with you.

I feel so close to you
Despite the distance between us, I still feel emotionally connected to you.

But we're so far apart
Despite my feelings for you, the physical distance between us is a challenge.

Now I spend my time
I've been passing my days thinking about you, trying to cope without you being here.

All alone, wondering when
My loneliness consumes me, and all I can do is wonder when we'll be together again.

You'll find your way home
I long for the day when you'll finally return to my arms.

Someday I know you'll come back
I have faith that we'll reunite someday, despite the current distance between us.

And I hope you'll stay right
I want things to be the way they used to be and for you to stay with me this time.

Here in my arms
My arms are where you belong, and I want to hold you close.

Baby we'll start again
We can begin anew and work on our love together once you're back.

(We'll start again)
Reforming our relationship is a priority for me, and we'll make it happen once you're here.

I'll try to stay strong but baby
I'll do my best to remain resilient, but I need you to be with me too.

Please don't take too long
The separation has been hard enough, so please hurry back to me as soon as you can.

Boy don't
I can't bear the thought of having to wait for you indefinitely, so please return to me soon.

Don't keep me waiting
I'm eagerly looking forward to your return, so don't make me wait any longer for your love.

For your love
The only thing that truly matters to me is your love, which I desperately need.

I want you so bad
I ache for you, and my desire for you is overwhelming.

I'm waiting for you
I'm anxiously waiting for the moment when you'll be in my arms again.

I Need you so bad
I know that I can't go on without you in my life - I'm so dependent on you.

When I close my eyes
I often dream about you and the life we could have together - it's my only solace.

I'm dreaming you'll be here
I imagine a future where you're next to me and we're happy together.

When I wake
When I snap back to reality, I'm painfully aware of the distance between us.

To hold me again
Physical intimacy is what I crave the most, and I want to be held by you again.

And I can pretend you're
Whenever I'm alone, I often fool myself into thinking you're there with me.

Back in my life
In my mind's eye, you never left and are still an important part of my existence.

But baby you're not
The reality of the situation is that you're gone, and I miss you terribly.

Boy you just don't understand
You don't realize how deeply your absence has impacted me and how much I need you.

I'm not eating, I'm not sleeping
My basic needs have been neglected since you've been gone - I can barely function.

I can't get you out of my head
You're constantly on my mind, and I can't shake the thought of you being far away from me.

Boy I need you in my life
I'm nothing without you, and your presence is absolutely essential to my well-being.

Baby don't think twice
There's nobody else in the world I want to be with but you - I'm yours and yours alone.

We'll start all over again, Oh
We'll be given a second chance at love, rekindling our fire and making things right.

Boy you know, I need you bad
I don't think you quite understand how much I need you back in my life - I'm desperate and hurting.

Oh baby please
I'm pleading with you, begging for your return and for everything to be okay.
