Make Him Wait

When he calls you, you don't have to answer right away, make him wait And when he small talks, before he asks you on a date, make him wait When his Pontiac's in the driveway and his eyes are midnight blue Take a deep breath Do the opposite of what you wanna do, make him wait By the phone, at the door to meet your dad before that first kiss He's gotta hold your hand You can't get it back when you give yourself away Yeah boys gonna run but a real man's gonna stay Girl, make him wait Mmhmmmm, make him wait And when he says that, it'd be easier if you just stayed the night Make him wait. (Mmhmmmm) Your gonna wanna, if your thinkin' you just might But, make him wait, oooouuu Make him wait, by the phone At the door, to meet your dad Before that first kiss, he's gotta hold your hand You can't get it back, when you give yourself away Yeah boys gonna run but a real man's gonna stay Girl, make him wait Oooou, make him wait They taught me that love is worth the weight in gold Like that ring on your hand, so When you find the one that stays and calls Then he won't mind If you make him wait, in his Tux Cellos sing you down the aisle Walk slow, take your time While your daddy cries, and your momma smiles And they're throwin' rice into the air And those tin cans roll away And you look into his eyes, and realize It's worth the while To make him wait Make him wait
