The Waiting Game

(Written By Buzz Cason)

Everybody sometime or another gotta play the waiting game
Everybody sometime or another gotta play the waiting game
I've waited for love so long
How long can this game go on
But I'll wait, cause that's the waiting game.

My mama said, ya gotta use your head
And don't be quick to give away your heart
She said with a smile, it'll take a little while
But you'll wait for the right boy if your smart.

She said
Everybody sometime or another gotta play the waiting game
Everybody sometime or another gotta play the waiting game
I've waited for love so long
How long can this game go on
But I'll wait, cause that's the waiting game

As time went on, lots of boys came along
They'd tell me how they didn't care to wait
So when they asked me to wed all I said,
Was let's wait a while before we set the date.

I told them
Everybody sometime or another gotta play the waiting game
Everybody sometime or another gotta play the waiting game
I've waited for love so long
How long can this game go on
But I'll wait, cause that's the waiting game
But I'll wait, cause that's the waiting game
