You stay at a distance
Never too close to touch
Just close enough
To make me stay
And I wonder
Where it all went wrong
It's taken so long
For me to walk away
But you're keepin' me guessin'
You're keepin' me hangin' on
I just don't know what else to do
Oh, but the I miss you's
The I love you's
The I can't stop thinking of you's
They have got to go
Let's stop all this pretending
There won't be a happy ending
Baby now I know
That it's taken us long
But I finally see
It's never gonna be
What I want it to be
And you say "be patient, one day I'll give you the world"
But I'm not the waiting kind of girl
There's a hesitation
It's in your eyes
But it's not in mine
Oh, why you're standing still
Oh, because one day you're in
The next day you're out
And I'm runnin' round in circles
Tryin' to figure you out
This is the game that I don't wanna play
Oh, but you're keepin' me guessin'
You're keepin' me hangin' on
I just don't know what else to do
(Hey yeah)
Oh, but the I miss you's
The I love you's
The I can't stop thinking of you's
They have got to go
(They have got to go)
Let's stop all this pretending
There won't be a happy ending
Baby now I know
That it's taken us long
But I finally see (finally see)
It's never gonna be
What I want it to be (what I want it to be)
And you say "be patient, one day I'll give you the world"
But I'm not the waiting kind of girl
Why don't you make up your mind
And stop messing with mine
Oh
The I miss you's
The I love you's
The I can't stop thinking of you's
They have got to go (they have got to go)
Let's stop all this pretending
There won't be a happy ending
Baby now I know
It's taken us long
But I finally see (finally see)
It's never gonna be
What I want it to be
And you say "be patient, one day I'll give you the world"
But I'm not the waiting kind of girl
(I ain't the waiting kind, I ain't the waiting kind of girl)
I'm not the waiting kind of girl
(I ain't the waiting kind, I ain't the waiting kind of girl)
Oh no no
I ain't the waiting kind of girl
Hey
