Lyrics for This Boy Can Wait

Let me stay and talk with you and John We could laugh and tell jokes all night long Another glass and I'm sure I could explain But you could maybe guess that I've got to see your friend again Oh yes I know it's late, oh but this boy can wait This boy can wait Oh there's nothing more that you could do I've just got to see this through My heart beats so fast whenever you are near My tongue gets tied up whenever you can hear When I touch your hand why do we have to hide behind these doors? If the world doesn't understand, then the world has got to learn Oh yes I know it's late, oh but this boy can wait This boy can wait Oh there's nothing more that you could do I've just got to see this through Tonight, when I hold you in my arms And I prove that I'm a man Oh well I hope you understand
