[Verse 1]
I heard of the virtue of a patient heart
So I'll just stick around 'till you can tell me apart
Oh, it's haunting the way I can't keep you off my mind
Is that same mind now making up its own signs?

[Pre-Chorus]
Guess I will know in time
I'm not in a hurry now

[Chorus]
And if I linger on
'Till it comes in my direction
Let me linger on
'Till you give me your affection
And if I linger on
'Till it comes in my direction
Let me linger on
'Till you give me your affection

[Verse 2]
They say I'm a fool for waiting such a long time
But don't be worried, darling: this fool said that he doesn't mind
You know where to find me at the end of the line

[Pre-Chorus]
It's all about thе right time
I'm not in a hurry now
[Chorus]
And if I linger on
'Till it comes in my dirеction
Let me linger on
'Till you give me your affection
And if I linger on
'Till it comes in my direction
Let me linger on
'Till you give me your affection

[Bridge]
I'm not in a hurry now
I'm not in a hurry now

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And if I linger on
'Till it comes in my direction
Let me linger on
'Till you give me your affection
And if I linger on
'Till it comes in my direction
Let me linger on
'Till you give me your affection
