How much more can she wait
How much more can her heart take
How many nights sitting by the phone
How much longer will she be alone
Walking these streets all by herself
Waiting for you and nobody else
Waiting for the day when you come to her
And tell her it's her love that you prefer
You know I hate to see anybody crying
Give her an A for effort
Lord knows she's trying
And you haven't been at all receptive
Excuse me if I sound a little overprotective
But
I know you're already spoken for
And you've got women knocking down your door
I guess you like things just the way they are
They're never too close yet never to far
But see I care for this particular heart
And in her life I'd love to play a part
And I really think that it could be
If you would finally set her free
Hate to think it's the blues I'm crying
But can you blame me for trying
And she hasn't been at all receptive
Excuse me if I sound a little overprotective
But
I love her
She loves you
And you love attention
There's so many feelings inside
That I'm too gentlemanly to mention
So if you're not gonna love her
Leave her be
If you're not gonna love her
Leave her to me
How much more can I wait
How much more can my heart take
