One, two, one, two, three, four

Shed a tear ′cause I'm missin′ youI'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you everyday now

Was a time when I wasn't sure

But you set my mind at ease

There is no doubt you′re in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slow

It′ll work itself out fine

All we need is just a little patience

Said, sugar, make it slow

And we'll come together fine

All we need is just a little patience

(Patience)

I sit here on the stairs

′Cause I'd rather be alone

If I can′t have you right now, I'll wait, dear

Sometimes, I get so tense

But I can′t speed up the time

But you know, love

There's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow

And things will be just fine

You and I'll just use a little patience

Said, sugar, take the time

′Cause the lights are shinin′ bright

You and I've got what it takes to make it

We won′t fake it

I'll never break it

′Cause I can't take it

Little patience

Need a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Some more patience

I′ve been walkin' the streets at night

Just tryin' to get it right (a little patience)

It′s hard to see with so many around

You know I don′t like bein' stuck in the crowd (could use some patience)

And the streets don′t change, but maybe the names

I ain't got time for the game ′cause I need you (gotta have more patience)

Yeah, yeah, but I need you

Oh, I need you (all it takes is patience)

Oh, I need you (just a little patience)

Oh, this time (is all you need)
