It's gettin' late I can't wait Come-a-come-a little closer You gotta tell me that you'll stay I've been praying for this moment Since the second I laid eyes on you Minutes seem like hours When you're gone Girl I'm gettin' tired of waitin' So stop your hesitatin' I can't believe you keep me hangin' on It's gettin late-ate-ate-ate Ooo (it's gettin' late) time waits for no one Love is a turn on It's gettin' late I can't wait Come-a-come-a little closer You gotta tell me that you'll stay You got me in a situation My love is risin' high Don't let any more love pass us by Girl, we can make it up to paradise Just give it a try So hurry now and girl make up your mind It's gettin' late Don't know how much more I can stand It's gettin' late Don't know how much more I can stand Girl I need your lovin' I'm so tired of waitin' Come on there's no one else around Ooo sweet girl it's gettin' late So please don't hesitate Been waitin' to get your defenses down
