Lyrics

Don't Wait That Long

Operator, operator, operator, operator
Operator, operator, operator, operator
Operator, the lines are down, are down
And I'm a traitor, traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planning, too many flaws

How long will it take to get used to me
How long will it take to get used to me

Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Don't wait that long

Oh yes I love you
But today I could hate you, I could hurt you
Because we're joined at the heart
Beats faster, hits harder than a boxer
When we are apart
Body language is an SOS
I don't understand how a fight starts
Not enough to believe in love
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where we've gone wrong

How long will it take to get used to me
How long will it take to get used to me

Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
No we won't wait that long
Don't wait that long

Operator, the lines are down
And I'm a traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planning, too many flaws
I've got too many flaws
Too many flaws

Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
No we won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
