Lyrics[]
Oh my love, I'll wait
I have been waiting here all day
And I want to be right now with you
When you and I were being loved
Oh my love, I am low
'Cos you are asking me to go
And I know I am holding onto dust
But my heart is telling me I'm right
Take my hand if you care
I can be your girl
You'll be my man
But you don't love me anymore
And I've never felt so broken up before
(I am well, I am well, I am well)
Ooh, baby darling
I will wait before
Ooh, baby darling
I will wait before
Ooh, long night
I will wait before
Ooh, every night
I will wait before, before
I die, I die, I die, I
Oh my love, I am low
'Cos you are asking me to go
And I know I am holding onto dust
But my heart is telling me I'm right
Take my hand if you care
I can be your girl
You'll be my man
But you don't love me anymore
And I've never felt so broken up before
(I am well, I am well, I am well)
