  • Put your trust in me
    I won't let you down
    Don't delay the things
    That you want right now

    Why wait for later?
    Hey I don't you want some action
    I'm not a waiter
    I like to make things happen

    Something's coming on
    Coming on strong
    Don't take too long
    Don't you wanna know
    Baby come home

    One more night with you
    I won't think it through
    Time's money but you knew
    There's nothing in the world you
    Can think of that I won't do to you

    Drowning in your sweat
    'Till I drench my clothes
    You've seen nothing yet
    Wait 'till you let go

    Why wait for later?
    Obey my intuition
    We're gonna be just fine
    I've got a premonition

    Something's coming on
    Coming on strong
    Don't take too long
    Don't you wanna know
    Baby come home

    One more night with you
    I won't think it through
    Time's money but you knew
    There's nothing in the world you
    Can think of that I won't do to you

    I'm gonna dance through the veil of your eyes
    While you follow my steps in the sand
    I see your fate in the palm of your hand

    No one looks, no one hears us this time
    It's only me and your conscious tonight
    If there are no witnesses, there is no crime

    Why wait for later?
    I'm not a waiter

    Something's coming on
    Coming on strong
    Don't take too long
    Don't you wanna know
    Baby come home

    One more night with you
    I won't think it through
    Time's money but you knew
    There's nothing in the world you
    Can think of that I won't do to

    One more night with you
    I won't think it through
    Time's money but you knew
    There's nothing in the world you
    Can think of that I won't do to you
