Wait A Minute Before You Leave Me - The Supremes

Just sixty seconds of your time

To listen to this plea of mine

Don’t let your heart be made of stone

Just say the past is bygone

Wait a minute before you leave me

Hold on before you go

I know that I was such a fool

I used your heart just like a tool

I’ll be your puppet on a string (puppet on a string)

And, baby, I’ll do anything

Turn around

Don’t walk out that door

I want you, baby, more than before

Wait a minute before you leave me

Hold on before you go

Oh, oh, wait a minute, baby

(Wait a minute before you leave me)

Hold on (Hold on before you go)

Wait a minute, baby

(Wait a minute before you leave me)

Hold on (Hold on before you go)

If I must beg to keep you by my side

I’m not ashamed to give up my pride

Wait a minute before you leave me

Hold on before you go

I left you standing all alone

You reached for me and I was gone

In other words, I was unwise

And for this I apologize

Baby, please, please, hurry

Say you forgive me

I’m beginning to worry

Wait a minute before you leave me

Hold on before you go

Oh wait a minute, baby, hold on

Wait a minute, baby, hold on

I didn’t mean to hurt you, oh, hold on, baby

Wait, wait, wait a minute, baby

Hold on before you go
