(I sit here watching the clock tick)
(Why am I waiting?)
Sitting on my bed now, waiting for you to come home
Counting all the minutes, anticipating
It's about time now; you know our love is so real
Stronger than the feelings I've ever known
[Chorus]
Why am I waiting for you?
There's no time for dreaming; be true
Why am I waiting for you?
Respect my love, just be there; be true
Tell me all my lonely nights, tell me
Don't want to play your games
The way that I'm feeling
Is it just a childish time
Show me your heart, show me your mind
Baby, don't be such a fool
'Cause you're treating me so cruel
[Chorus]
Don't you think it's time to make it right?
My love is too short to play around
Tell me that you believe in me
This is just a make believe
Baby, show me your love
That is all I'm asking for
Baby, I need you
Baby, I want you
Baby, come home
[Chorus x 2]
Why am I waiting for you?
Pack your bags, and now we're through
Why am I waiting for you?
'Cause I've done all I can do
Why am I waiting for you
When you can't even be true?
Why am I waiting for you?
I can't see why I'm waiting for you
[Chorus]
