Like Everyone She Knows

Like everyone she knows

She's holding out for truelove

Waiting on an answer

Ready for a change

And everywhere she goes

She's just a little bit on the lookout

A day might mean tomorrow

Questions still remain

It's not that she's so sad

She always was a happy soul

But lately she gets to wonder to herself

What's the good of going on anymore

I see her in her room

Sitting at the window

Wondering if she's pretty

Feeling just a little small tonight

She thinks of going home

Giving up on the city

Maybe moving back down to Mobile

It's not that far to fall

I know she won't see me

But I might just say anyhow

If I could be right there right now

As I myself was told

Hold tight to your heart's desire

Never ever let it go

Let nobody fool you into giving it up too soon

Tend your own fire

Lay low and be strong

Wait awhile

Wait it out

Wait it on out

Wait it out

It'll come along

I know she won't see me

But I might just say anyhow

If I could be right there right now

As I myself was told

Hold tight to your heart's desire

Never ever let it go

Let nobody fool you into giving it up too soon

Tend your own fire

Lay low and be strong

Wait it out

Wait it out

Wait it on out

Wait it out

Let it come along

Oh, wait awhile

Wait awhile
