美國薩克斯風演奏天王［肯尼吉］＆藍尼威廉斯──輕爵士／靈魂抒情曲──［Dont Make Me Wait for Love／別讓我等待愛］

Sitting here just staring at your picture

Waiting for your call

So unclear, Im hanging on a notion

We could have it all

Time and time again you tell me to be patient

But we cant let love slip away

Baby, dont make me wait for love this time, oh

Ooh, oh, darlin, a love like this is hard to find

Dont make me wait for love

Hmm, I close the blinds and try to hide the darkness

Fall asleep alone

Give me a sign, a man aint supposed to face life

Standing on his own

When youre near me I cant help but see forever

Come and rescue me tonight

Baby, dont make me wait for love this time, oh

Oh, oh, darlin, a love like this is hard to find

Cant you see I need your love, I need you

Baby, dont make me wait for love this time, yeah

Oh, oh, darlin, a love like this is hard to find

Dont make me wait for love

Oh, oh, oh, baby, dont make me wait for love this time, oh

Oh, oh, darlin, a love like this is hard to find

Cant you see I need your love, I need you

Baby, dont make me wait for love this time

Oh, oh, darlin, a love like this is hard to find, ooh, baby

Baby, dont make me wait for love this time, I need you, baby

I love you, I need you, I want you, baby
