Can’t It Wait Until Tomorrow
[Intro]
Look-a here! Somebody turn up the microphone!
You know there comes a time in everybody's life
Where you got to stand face-to-face with the truth
I mean, you just can't push it under the rug no more
I mean, this man is about to get away from you
You can fuss and you can holler all you want
But the best thing you can do is

(Can't it wait)
Beg this man to stay just a little longer
(Can't it wait)
I mea, you may not be able to keep him forever
(Can't it wait)
But, uh, just a little longer, maybe 'til tomorrow
(Can't it wait)
Maybe 'til tomorrow evenin'

(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Oh, can't it wait
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Just one more day, yeah
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Oh, put it off, baby
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
[Chorus]
Yeah, can't it wait until tomorrow?
Yeah, can't it wait until tomorrow?

[Verse 1]
I know, I know you're standing there
Trying to say the words
You took so long to prepare
Oh, but I laugh, pretending I don't see
I don't wanna hear
What you're sayin' to me

[Pre-Chorus]
(Can't it wait)
Hey hey, one more hour
(Can't it wait)
Or maybe one more day
(Can't it wait)
Before you take your lovin'
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Before you take it away
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)

[Chorus]
Oh, can't it wait until tomorrow?
Before you bring the showers
Wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours, yeah
[Interlude]
You know, folks keeps saying when you stop talking about who got away
I mean but, ain't no sense in tryin' to hide it
Everybody knows
When you've been hurt by love, it just shows
I mean, it's like a mark on you
I know what I'm talkin' about because it's happening to me
I try to get it around, you know, play dumb, but

[Verse 2]
I've seen it coming
For quite sometime now
And don't you know I tried to stop it
In every way I know how
Yeah, I know it's hard for you
As it is for me
So listen to my heart
Begging desperately

[Pre-Chorus]
(Can't it wait)
Hey, one more day
(Can't it wait)
Before you take your sweet
(Can't it wait)
Sweet lovin' away, baby
(Can't it wait)
[Chorus]
Oh, can't it wait until tomorrow?
Before you bring me the showers
Wait until (Tomorrow)
Oh, give me 24 more hours (24 more hours)

[Outro]
Can't it wait?
Can't it wait?
Can't it wait?
Oh, can't it wait?

Oh (Can't it wait?)
Just one more day, yeah yeah
(Can't it wait?)
Before you take your lovin' away
(Can't it wait?)
Oh, can't it wait?
(Can't it wait?)
Oh, oh, can't it

(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Aye, oh, oh, one more day
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Don't you take your, ooh, your lovin' away
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
You take it away
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Oh baby, a-one more, a-one
(Can't it wait)
Yeah, say it

(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Can't it wait, can't it wait
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Can't you put it off?
(Can't it wait, can't it wait)
Oh, can't it wait?
