(Wait wait for me wait wait for meJohnny wait for me) When I first met her she was only three And I remember how she followed me She was always getting in my way REFRAIN And I still yes I still can hear her say (Wait for me wait for me Johnny please wait for me I love you more than I can hardly stand Wait for me wait for me Johnny please wait for me
I'll grow up just as fast as I can Wait for me wait for me wait for me wait for me) As we grew older she would always wait She'd wait for me by the schoolyard gate I would yell at her to go away REFRAIN And now we're grown up but she didn't wait And I'm in love with her but it's too late She just married someone else today REFRAIN Johnny, wait for me! (fade out repeating 'wait for me')
