Lyrics The Shirelles

The Shirelles

Wait Till I Give The Signal

You made a mistake, boy, when you took my love for granted

Now you hold a hurting heart that's been disenchanted

You're tellin' everyone that it's just you & me (just you & me)

But you were so wrong (you were so wrong)

To assume that I'd be; listen to me baby

Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead, go ahead, go ahead

Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead, go ahead, go ahead

You've covered too much ground; you're too demandin'

It's time to slow you down; you've got a bad understandin'

You didn't stop to get things clear; things aren't what they really appear

Now you're drownin', drownin' (drownin', drownin')

In your own tears; listen to me baby

Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead, go ahead, go ahead

Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead, go ahead, go ahead

Baby, why can't you hear me? Baby, why can't you hear me?

You've covered too much ground; you've got a bad understandin'

It's time to slow you down; you're too demandin'

You didn't stop to get things clear; things aren't what they really appear

Now you're drownin', drownin' (drownin', drownin')

Now you're drownin', drownin', in your own tears

Ooo yeah, listen to me baby

Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead
