I remember when I was five
Then you were ten, boy
You knew that I was shy
So you teased and made me cry
But I loved you

Then, one day, you came
You told me you were leaving
You gave your folks the blame
And made me cry again
When you said

Little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Some day, it will surely come
Ooh, ooh

Little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Some day, it will surely come
And I'm still waiting

(Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'm waiting
(Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ooh, still waiting

(I'm just a fool)
Oh, I'm a fool (I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
To keep waiting (I'm just a fool)
For you (I'm just a fool)

Ooh, I'm waiting (I'm just a fool)
I'm still waiting (I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
For love (I'm just a fool)
For you (I'm just a fool)

Then someone finally came
He told me that he loved me
I put him off with lies
He could see I had no eyes
So, he left me

Once again alone
Like a child without her playmate
I had to face the truth
I was still in love with you
But you said

Little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Some day, it will surely come
Ooh, ooh

Little girl
Please don't wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Some day, it will surely come
And I'm still waiting

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Love has never shown its face
Since the day he walked out that door
You filled my life with empty space
Come back
Can't you see it's you I'm waiting for?

(I'm just a fool)
Don't you know I'm waiting? (I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
Ooh, I'm waiting (I'm just a fool)
For love (I'm just a fool)
For you (fool, I'm just a fool)

I miss you (I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
Ooh, I'm waiting (I'm just a fool)
Come on back, boy (I'm just a fool)
Come back (I'm just a fool), come back
Come back, boy (I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
Ooh, I need ya (I'm just a fool)
Ooh, hoo and I want you (I'm just a fool)
That's what I'm afraid to say (fool, I'm just a fool)

A fool (I'm just a fool to keep waiting)
But I'm still waiting (I'm just a fool)
For you (I'm just a fool)
Come back, boy (I'm just a fool)
