She came from the wrong side of town
She crossed the tracks and then she turned around
Alone and restless
Left without a choice
She sought the comfort in a friendly voice

And to survive she sold herself away
Every night and almost every day
Alone and restless
Left without a choice
She found the comfort in a friendly voice

I said wait
I said wait
Don't give yourself away
In the morning when you wake up
It's a brand new day to live

She nearly lost herself along the way
So full of anger in a world of pain
She'd walk the streets at night all alone
No one to turn to
No place called home

Our worlds collided one summer day
I gave her hope and a place to stay
Alone and restless
Left without a choice
She found the comfort in a friendly voice
I said wait
I said wait
Don't give yourself away
In the morning when you wake up
It's a brand new day

I said wait
I said wait
Don't give yourself away
In the morning when you wake up
It's a brand new day

I said wait, darling now, our love will return
I said wait, darling now, our love will return

I said wait, darling now, our love will return
I said wait, darling now, our love will return

I said wait, darling now, our love will return
I said wait, darling now, our love will return

She came from the wrong side of town
And through the pain she turned her life around
When everyone seemed to pull her down
She caught herself before she hit the ground
Now so alive, she nearly once was dead
She gathered strength and walked the road ahead
Alone and restless
Left without a choice
She found the comfort in a friendly voice

I said wait
I said wait
Don't give yourself away
In the morning when you wake up
It's a brand new day

I said wait
I said wait
Don't give yourself away
In the morning when you wake up
It's a brand new day to live
