Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think 'bout you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slow and it'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow and we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience, mm yeah

I sit here on the stairs, I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense, but I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time 'cause the lights are shinin' bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it

I've been walkin' the streets at night
Just tryin' to get it right
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like bein' stuck in the crowd
An' the streets don't change, but maybe the names
You know I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you
Yeah, I need you

Said, woman, take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow and we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
