Its 'bout that time again
That time of year
When ya drop me line again
Just to see how I've been
And you tell me how you hate your job
And I tell you to get something new
Then ya tell me you're leaving
You're going round the world
You say 'under achieving'
You wanna go to somewhere else
Somewhere in the sun
Where people know how to have a little more fun
Won't ya take me with you
'cos I want those things too
I wanna be with you everyday
And maybe grow up with you
How can I do these things
When you're the other side of the world?
Well I will wait for you
I will wait
And you'll be late as usual
You'll be late
But they say patience is virtue
(ooh) I've never been quite sure what that's supposed to mean
So though we might be on different time zones
And talking endlessly on the telephone
I'm staring blankly into my pillow and wishing it was you
And though we might be on different time zones
And talking endlessly on the telephone
I'm screaming loudly into my pillow screaming out for you
Several months go by
How time has flown
But in truth everything is stood still
Since you left me alone
Yeah I'm missing
Someone to hold
Well I will wait for you
I will wait
And you'll be late as usual
You'll be late
But they say patience is virtue
(ooh) I've never been quite sure what that's supposed to mean
So though we might be on different time zones
And talking endlessly on the telephone
I'm staring blankly into my pillow and wishing it was you
And though we might be on different time zones
And talking endlessly on the telephone
I'm screaming loudly into my pillow screaming out for you
Though we might be on different time zones
And racking up the bills on the telephone
I'm screaming loudly into my pillow screaming out for you
(ooohh)
