Lyrics Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack

Don't Make Me Wait Too Long

I never mind waiting, ooh, ooh,

First a glance, then a smile, warmer than all of the

Heavens;

Whispering to me your name, and asking of me the

Same.

First a song, then a dance, that could have lasted

Forever,

But time said we had to part, not caring if it broke

Our hearts.

You said, "Hope we meet again."

I said, "Yes, just tell me when."

Please don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long.

First a note, then a call, with such tender

Conversation;

I knew all right it would be, if you came to visit me

First a kiss, then we were gone, to love's magic land

Together,

But morning said you must go, not caring if it hurt us

So.

I ask you, "Will we again?"

You said, "Yes, just tell me when."

Please don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long.

First you're here, then you're gone,

It's that same old heartbreak story;

Thought that you'd be in my life

For more than just one night.

But you say you got to leave,

It destroys me, boy, it hurts me;

Tell me what did I do wrong

For you to leave me all alone?

I don't care how long you'll be,

'Cause I will wait patiently,

But please, don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long.I never mind waiting, ooh, ooh,

First a glance, then a smile, warmer than all of the

Heavens;

Whispering to me your name, and asking of me the

Same.

First a song, then a dance, that could have lasted

Forever,

But time said we had to part, not caring if it broke

Our hearts.

You said, "Hope we meet again."

I said, "Yes, just tell me when."

Please don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long.

First a note, then a call, with such tender

Conversation;

I knew all right it would be, if you came to visit me

First a kiss, then we were gone, to love's magic land

Together,

But morning said you must go, not caring if it hurt us

So.

I ask you, "Will we again?"

You said, "Yes, just tell me when."

Please don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long.

First you're here, then you're gone,

It's that same old heartbreak story;

Thought that you'd be in my life

For more than just one night.

But you say you got to leave,

It destroys me, boy, it hurts me;

Tell me what did I do wrong

For you to leave me all alone?

I don't care how long you'll be,

'Cause I will wait patiently,

But please, don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long.

Don't make me wait too long
