I've been waiting here, wondering when you're gonna show
By and by, the time goes sometimes fast and sometimes slow
And I'm thinkin' how the time is passin' , my friends askin' how long
I can last in such a state, it has to be bad for my self- esteem
They say I'm in denial - Boy, you've got to let her go

I'm stayin' here until I think of something else to do
I'm going nowhere, just in case you're going nowhere too
And I'm thinkin' how you never write or call, and if there's nothing here at all 
I guess I'll have to take the fall and get back on my feet
Then I'll just fall in love with someone else who looks like you

    I need to get away and take a long vacation
    A trip around the world for health and recreation
    A time for solitude and self-recrimination

Say you love me and I'll wait for you eternally
It wouldn't seem that long if I thought you'd come back to me
And it feels like I've waited such a long time and maybe I'm out of my mind
But how long would I wait to find another girl like you
Sometimes it's hard to see the forest for the trees

    I need to get away and take a long vacation
    A trip around the world for health and recreation
    A time for solitude and self-recrimination

I've been waitin' here, wonderin' when you're gonna show
By and by, the time goes sometimes fast and sometimes slow
I've been thinkin' how the time is passin', my friends askin' how long
I can last in such a state, it has to be bad for my self-esteem
I been waitin' longer than they waited for Godot
