Wait - Bettye LaVette

It’s been a long time

And now I’m comin' back home

I’ve been away now

But oh, I’m, I’m comin' home

Wait till I come back to your side

Will forgive the tears that we cry

But if your heart breaks

Don’t wait, turn me away

And if your heart’s strong

Hold on, I wanted you wait

Oh, wait

Till I come back to your side

We’ll forget about the tears we cried

I feel as though you oughta know

That I’ve been just as good as I can be And if you do…

I will trust in you

And know you’ll wait for me But if your heart breaks!

Don’t wait

Gone and turn me away

And if you’re heart’s strong

Hold on, I wanted you wait

Till I come back to your side

We’ll forget about the tears we cried

It’s been a long time

Now I’m comin' back home

I’ve been away now, but oh, I’ll

I’ve been alone
