Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
Whoa-oh, hey, hey
Mmm-mmm, oh...
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Hey

They say that patience is a virtue
And I believe that's true
'Cause I patiently waited for you
My momma told me to watch the girls you date, mm-hmm
She said that good things come to those who wait, yeah
I don't remember how I met you
But when you touched my soul, I nearly lost my cool
It's by your grace that I am never lonely
And I'm so grateful you're my one and only

Good things come to those who wait
You are my beginning, you are my fate
And it's so good to have your love by my side
And that's no lie

Once we were bond, we never severed
A bond made in heaven, perfect with no error
And I declare that you saved me from my weakness, oh, baby
You fulfilled your promise of love and happiness, oh, yeah
It's great to tell the world of all your lovely blessings
I know that you are real and I don't have to guess
And every moment, I rejoice for you, for you, for you
Oh, and you are with me in everything I do, oh...
Good things come to those who wait
You are my beginning, you are my fate
And it's so good to have your love by my side
It ain't no lie, baby

They say that patience is a virtue
And I believe that's true
'Cause I patiently waited for you
My momma told me to watch the girls you date
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
She said, said that good things come to those who wait
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh, Lord
I don't remember how I met you, oh...
But when you touched my soul, I nearly lost my cool
It's by your grace that I am never lonely
Oh, oh, ah, oh...
And I'm so grateful you're my one and only, oh!

Good things come to those who wait
You are my beginning, oh, you are my fate
And it's so good to have your love
Right here by my side, 'tain't no lie, ain't no lie
And if I could, could not have you
I don't want nobody, oh, and it's so true, baby
You're all I need, yeah, baby, all I need to get by
And that's no lie, baby...
