Her mama told me
If I want her I gotta take it slow
You just can't tell her
Gotta find other ways to let her know
But I don't understand this game
This is so new to me
I wanna tell her
I wanna take her in my arms
Give her time
Maybe one day she'll come around
See the love I'm offering
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
Heaven knows everyday I pray
That someday she will belong to me
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
She is my sunshine
But her heart belongs to another man
She looks right through me
She only ever thought of us as friends
But I'll keep holding back my heart
I will not let her see
I'm gonna bide my time
Until the day she comes to me
Give her time
Maybe one day she'll come around
See the love I'm offering
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
Heaven knows everyday I pray
That someday she will belong to me
'Cause I don't wanna live without the girl
(repeat)
