I promise to wait, my love
Right here till you return
With a love that's weak for you
And a heart that sadly yearns

Yearn because you've left me
All alone and blue
And to another
I know I can't be true

I know that you'll come back home
But hurry up, don't take so long
'Cause I love you, need you
Even though you've done me wrong

I promise to wait, my love
Until you finally find
The love you're sharing now
Is not as real as mine

Her love is like a diamond
Only worth a dime
But my love for you
Is strictly genuine

I know that you'll come back home
But hurry up, don't take so long
'Cause I love you, need you
Even though you've done me wrong

Ooh, how I miss you
I long to hear you call my name
And since you've been gone, baby
You know things just ain't been the same, no

I, I promise to wait, my love
Right here till you return
With arms that hold you, baby
And lips that forever burn

I cry for your tender
Everloving kiss
And your tight embrace
Is what I really miss

I know that you'll come back home
But hurry up, don't take so long
'Cause I love you, need you
Even though you've done me wrong

Gonna stay right here, baby
Ain't going away
I'm gonna wait for you, baby.....
