[Chorus:]
Wait a minute
I've been calling out to you

There's nothing more you can say to make me stay
This time I swear I'll stand firm to my word
Wait a minute

I've cried my last cry
For the last time
See you've stayed away a day too late

I've hurt for too long, boy, now you've got to pay

I gotta' dozen things on my mind

Issues with you are the first in line
I never thought it would be true
I was labeled a fool for chasing after you

Shoulda' known what to do
Repercussions all because of you
Manipulating

Aggravating
All of these things come to mind
But . . .


[Chorus:]
Wait a minute

I've been calling out to you
There's nothing more you can say to make me stay
This time I swear I'll stand firm to my word

Wait a minute
I've cried my last cry
For the last time

See you've stayed away a day too late
I've hurt for too long, boy, now you've got to pay


I've wasted far too much time boy
Blaming myself when you're wrong
Can't go on

Year after year
And if you really, really loved me, like you say you do
You woulda' took up for my heart

From the start
Instead, you led me on
Tell me why


[Bridge:]
Now I understand why

You strayed away day after day
You just weren't the man that
Was meant to be

For me
For me


[Chorus:]
Wait a minute
I've been calling out to you

There's nothing more you can say to make me stay
This time I swear I'll stand firm to my word
Wait a minute

I've cried my last cry
For the last time
See you've stayed away a day too late

I've hurt for too long, boy, now you've got to pay
