Video and Lyrics: The Outsiders' Time Won't Let me



This is one of my favorite nuggets/moldy oldies, and a well-known pop masterpiece. I don't know any of the Outsider's other music, but they got it right at least this once. . .

Time Won't Let Me

By Tom King - Chet Kelley

I can't wait forever
Even though you want me to
I can't wait forever
To know if you'll be true

[Chorus:]
Time won't let me (oh, no)
Time won't let me (oh, no)
Time won't let me...ee...ee...ee

Can't you see I've waited too long
To love you, to hold you in my arms

Ahhh...ahhh...ahhh...ah!

I can't wait forever
Even though you want me to
I can't wait forever
To know if you'll be true

[Chorus]

Hear me baby waitin' that long
Take me back, I'm comin' back right now
Hear me baby sayin' I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home, oh hear me talkin', pretty baby
Don't you know I'm comin' back to you, oh!
Oh pretty baby, take me back, I'm comin' back
Open up your arms and take me back, a-here I come
---o0o---
