Don't be scared, it's only natural to feel this way You're anxious for a brighter day Wonder when she'll look my way The water feels cool for a moment or two But then you're pruned up by the pool Nothin' to do but watch her swim Then she asks, "Did you wanna come in?" Don't be a fool I know you're waitin' for the right time If you don't jump, you'll lose her If you stand still, you'll cry Don't be a fool Just say the words that come to your mind If you don't jump, you'll lose her If you stand still, you'll cry (I know you're waitin' for her) (I know you're waitin') (I, I know you're waitin') (I know you're waitin') (I, I know you're waitin') (I know you're waitin') (I, I know you're waitin') (I know you're waitin') (I, I know you're waitin') She was overseas chasin' dreams that summer Call me on the phone to talk about a new lover Oblivious life without a care I don't have the right to call you unaware Maybe she dreams the same as you Life, you see, is comin' true Not as far as it used to be You owe it to yourself, it's only fair Don't be a fool I know you're waitin' for the right time If you don't jump, you'll lose her If you stand still, you'll cry Don't be a fool Just say the words that come to your mind If you don't jump, you'll lose her If you stand still, you'll cry (I know you're waitin' for her) (I know you're waitin') (I, I know you're waitin') (I know you're waitin') (I, I know you're waitin') (I know you're waitin') (I, I know you're waitin') (I know you're waitin') (I, I know you're waitin')
