I know these feelings are new to you
I know the mystery and the desire
Have you decided what you're gonna do
When temptation builds a fire
The heat of passion for a moment
Oh, it could burn you for a lifetime to come
One minute's pleasure might put off your pain
But it takes the innocence from the young, oh, yeah

Why don't you wait a little longer
Be a little stronger
Love is patient and I know you're gonna find
If you'll wait a little longer
And be a little stronger
You will cherish the love of God gives you
All in good time

Your world is filled with fewer do's than don'ts
More blacks and whites than grays
To learn the difference between need and want
Will prove you wise beyond your days
It's always easier to do what is wrong
Than to hold out and do what's right
(Listen) Who said the easy way was always best
You gotta hold on with all you might
It will be worth the fight
