Well I'm standing here freezing inside your golden garden
Got my ladder leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on Dolly Mae there's no time to stall
But now you're telling me
"I think we better wait till tomorrow," yeah, yeah
"I think we better wait till tomorrow," girl what you talkin' about?
"I think we better wait till tomorrow," got to make sure it's right
So until tomorrow good night, oh what a drag
Oh Dolly Mae, how can you hang me out this way?
On the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm standing here like some turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed-up mind of you
And you keep telling me that ah
"I think we better wait till tomorrow," what are you talkin' about?
"I think we better wait till tomorrow," no, I can't wait that long
"I think we better wait till tomorrow"
Got to make sure it's right, until tomorrow good night, oh
See if I can talk to this girl a little bit
Oh Dolly Mae girl you must be insane
So unsure of yourself, leaning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree?
Click bang, what a hang, your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say as I fade away
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow," hey
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow," what you say?
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow"
It must not have been right so forever good night
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow," do I have to wait, do I have to wait?
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow," it's a drag on my part
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow," don't have to wait, don't have to wait
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow," don't have to wait, don't have to wait
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow," don't have to wait, don't have to wait
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow," oh no
I won't be around tomorrow, yeah
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow," we don't have to wait
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow"
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow"
"We don't have to wait till tomorrow"
