[Verse 1]
Just hold your head up high
Forget your feelings for a while
Your friends, they don't mean what they say
Only want you when you are away

[Chorus]
Why'd you wait, so long
Why'd you wait, so long
Why'd you wait, so long
Why'd you wait, so long

[Verse 2]
If you feel like running, stand your ground
Someone out there feels the same about
Living with no guts, with no crush
Only when you're broke, you'll be found

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Why'd you wait, so long
Why'd you wait, so long
Why'd you wait, so long
Why'd you wait, so long
[Instrumental Outro]
