Once simple point you've seemingly missed Is the slight inconvenience that I still exist But I'll try to stay more to myself God knows I'm greedy to covet your time And who could endure such a self-centered crime There's one simple way for your love to be earned By shutting my mouth and waiting my turn If you get a free minute, if you're in between men If my number comes up If you think there's a time when You'll have me at your beck and call I can't comprehend what it is you expect when You whitewash your partner in selfish neglect You may be with him, but I'm holding firm To shutting my mouth and waiting my turn
There's no hidden meaning for you to discern I'm shutting my mouth, I'm waiting my turn The rules are so simple, but I'm slow to learn I'm shutting my mouth, I'm waiting my turn My heart is so soft and your voice is so stern I'm shutting my mouth, keep waiting my turn If you get a free minute If you're in between men If my number comes up If you think there's a time when You'll have me at your beck and call I can't comprehend what it is you expect when You whitewash your partner in selfish neglect You may be with him, but I'm holding firm To shutting my mouth and waiting my turn
