The needle on my record player has been wearing thin This record has been playing since the day you've been with him No more long rides home No more of your station I didn't like it anyway Remember the time we wrote our names up on the wall Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song Have I waited too long Have I found that someone Have I waited too long Too see you Maybe it's for the best Maybe it's not for anything It wouldn't be so bad to take this right from me No more long rides home No more of your station I didn't like it anyway Remember the time we wrote our names up on the wall Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song Have I waited too long Have I found that someone Have I waited too long Too see you How many times I've tried It's simple to you, so simple to lie How many times I've tried Blatant mistakes of your design Have I waited too long Have I found that someone Have I waited too long Too see you I've had so many chances Turn my back and I ran away I've had so many chances To see you
