i promise to wait my love right here ’til you return
with a love that’s weak and a heart that sadly yearns
yearns 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 sharin’ 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
how i miss you i long to hear you call my name
and since you’ve been gone baby
you don’t think this ain’t been the same no
i promise to wait my love right here till you return
with arms that want you baby flames that forever burn
i cry for your tender love everlovin’ 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 my love ain’t goin’ away
gonna wait for you baby
