And mama told me if I want her. I gotta take it slow
  You just can't tell her, you 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 and maybe one-day she'll come around
  And see the love I am 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 though of us as friends
  But I'll keep holding back my heart
  I will not let her see
  I gonna bide my time
  until the day she comes to me
    Give her time and maybe one-day she'll come around
  And 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
    Give her time and maybe one-day she'll come around
  And 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
