[Verse 1]
How come you tell me that we have to get away?
But girl, you can't be found
We'll dine in Paris on the Champs-Elysees
Whenever you come around
There's been a breakdown, breakdown
Don't change your mind on me
Just take a little time
You say the finer things
Are worth waiting for
Just gimme some kinda sign, baby

[Chorus]
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I think of all the moments that we share
I've been waiting for so long
You know it hurts me
Every time you run and hide
I look up and now, you're gone
I've been put down, way down
There's no tomorrow for me
You can't let love just fade away, baby
[Chorus]
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
I can't hold back my tears any longer

[Bridge 1]
Girl, I've been longing for you deep inside
And I tell myself, baby, baby
If this love of ours will survive
Then let's take this chance together, together
Baby, you know

[Chorus]
I just can't wait, wait for a hundred years
(I just can't wait)
I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer

[Bridge 2]
Now, hear, you pushed my heart around
Tore me up inside, made me feel so bad
You took away my pride (My pride)

[Outro]
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
I can't hold back my tears any longer
(I can't hold back my tears)
(Any longer)
I can't hold back my tears, baby
(Any longer)
Can't hold back my tears, darling
(Any longer)
I can't hold back my tears, baby
(Any longer)
Any longer
I can't wait
I'm down on my knees, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Don't talk to me, oh
Break down on my knees, baby
Must tell me
Can't help my soul
I can't help my soul, baby, baby
(Any longer)
Talk to me
(Any longer)
Break down on my knees, now, baby
(Any longer)
(Any longer)
Can't wait
(Any longer)
I can't wait
I can't wait
I can't wait
Wait, baby
I can't wait no more, now, baby
Break down on my knees
