The next in line will be someone who loves you The next in line is me, 'cause it's my time Now how long will it be, 'til you end my misery You better be prepared to linger, when you get to me The time has come for you to love me, if you ever are Come to me now, so I can make you mine I watched them rush to you so fast I waited so I'd be the last It's my time, 'cause I'm the next in line The next in line will hold your love forever The next in line is me and here I am Give me a day or two and I'll get through to you
You'd been my baby long ago, if you'd turned down a few This old heart can't take much more waitin' for your love I'm tired and we're runnin' short of time I'll make you love me more than everyone before It's my time to try, 'cause I'm the next in line I stood and watched you take their hearts And break 'em one by one My time is comin', so I waited while you had your fun Now I'm through a-waitin' way behind It's my time, 'cause I'm the next in line
