Virginia, Wait - Wardell

Sweet Virginia has to wait

Got a lovesick heart on fire

Got a lovesick heart on fire

And she plays a lover’s ire

Sweet

Poor Mariana has to go

With her homesick head on fire

All her friends know she’s on a wire

Can’t escape but never sad

Oooooh

Spring makes her say the strangest things

She told Marie that she wasn’t alive

Fell into the arms of Phaedra’s smile

At the break of a crackling dawn

On the West Side high

So, Virginia stays at home

Tell the kids she’ll be OK

Living years of yesterday

Doing other simple household things

Like picking up the phone and letting it ring

And she plays at lover’s ire

Sweet
