Intro]
One, two, one, two, three, four
*Whistling*

[Verse 1]
( I ) Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you, I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I about you every day now
(There) Was a time when I wasn't sure, but you set my mind at ease
There no doubt you're in my heart now

[Chorus]
Said, woman, it slow and it'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, it slow and we'll come together fine
All we is just a little patience
Patience, mm yeah...

[Verse 2]
I here on the stairs 'cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I so tense, but I can't speed up the time
But you , love, there's one more thing to consider

[Chorus]
Said, woman, it slow and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take 'cause the lights are shinin' bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, aw, I'll never break it, 'cause I can't take it

[Outro]
(Little , hm yeah, hm yeah)
(Need a patience, yeah)
(Just a little patience, yeah)
(Some more patience)
I've been walkin' the streets (Yeah)
Just tryin' to get it right (A little patience)
It's hard with so many around (Yeah)
You know I don't like bein' stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience)
An' the streets don't change, but maybe the names (Yeah)
I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you (Gotta have more patience)
Yeah-yeah, but I need you (Yeah)
Ooh, I you (All it takes is patience)
Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)
