Take what you can,
What you can
While you still have the chance,
The chance
I told myself I'd wait for this
It's either a hit or miss
And right about now
My heart's gonna need to be fixed
This may sound like the other songs
But oh, baby you're wrong
Listen, I know you aren't used
To the age in between
But I am completely different
And I know you've seen
I make you feel like
A different man
When I'm around
I see those looks you give me
And whenever I make a sound"¦
[Bridge]
It's those small things
You do
That reassures me
Why I pursue you
It's those small things
You do
That reminds me
Why I'm in love with you
[Chorus]
And baby, I know it's a bad time
And baby, I know you got a lot
On your mind
So I'm gonna patiently wait
As long as it takes
Until you're ready to try
Until it's my heart you find
Cause I can't imagine myself
With anyone else
I swear, you're worth the wait
And I guess you can go
Your separate ways for now
But I'll be here, just in case
And don't you forget
I was the one
Who showed you how,
Showed you how,
To love, to love
I understand why things
Are the way they are
But I've kept quiet far too long
It's been incredibly hard
It's just been torture for me
To know you gotta hide
All the feelings you wanna show
Concealing them down inside
You let some slip out at times
But I don't think you even realize
It's your duty to keep it disguised
But I know you're dyin' inside
Don't get me wrong,
There could be a lot to lose
But when I look deep into your eyes
I know it's me you'd choose
It's those small things
You do
That reassures me
Why I pursue you
It's those small things
You do
That reminds me
Why I'm in love with you
[Chorus]
And baby, I know it's a bad time
And baby, I know you got a lot
On your mind
So I'm gonna patiently wait
As long as it takes
Until you're ready to try
Until it's my heart you find
Cause I can't imagine myself
With anyone else
I swear, you're worth the wait
And I guess you can go
Your separate ways for now
But I'll be here, just in case
And don't forget
I was the one
Who showed you how,
Showed you how,
To love, to love
I'm sick of people tellin' me
It's wrong to be
The way I wanna be,
With you
I'd give up everything
To have you back on that swing
With me
And I'd give up everything
For a quiet "I love ya..."
Without having
To be undercover
You try and deny it with your eyes
The difference in the age
But you just don't wanna show it
Like your life will be displayed on stage
But I stopped caring
A long time ago
And it's tearin' me up inside
"˜Cause nobody even knows
But I'll keep waitin'
And I'll keep speculatin'
The things you do for me
One day you're gonna give in
And we'll finally be free
It's those small things
You do
That reassures me
Why I pursue you
It's those small things
You do
That reminds me
Why I'm in love with you
[Chorus]
And baby, I know it's a bad time
And baby, I know you got a lot On your mind
So I'm gonna patiently wait
As long as it takes
Until you're ready to try
Until it's my heart you find
Cause I can't imagine myself
With anyone else
I swear, you're worth the wait
And I guess you can go
Your separate ways for now
But I'll be here, just in case
And don't forget
I was the one
Who showed you how,
To love, to love
