All we need is just a little patience
I sit here on the stairs

But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love there's one more thing to consider
Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it, we won't fake it
