don't leave me waitin'
cos I won't be here forever
I move fast like stormy weather
don't leave me waitin'
like the shoreline meets the tide
got to surrender deep inside
don't push your luck around
don't give your hand away
when you play the hardest game in town
i'll chase you so far girl
and then i'm out of here
like a missile at the speed of sound
accept me or say no
make it clear which way to go
cos your powder's dry
and i'm on fire
is there something i should see?
tell me something to believe
do something useful child
and make up your mind
don't leave me waitin'
cos I won't be here forever
I move fast like stormy weather
don't leave me waitin'
like the shoreline meets the tide
got to surrender deep inside
girl you know you look so sweet
you break my walls down
you make me think your smile's mine to keep
just for a second when our worlds collided
i thought the stars had fallen down at my feet
accept me or say no
make it clear which way to go
cos your powder's dry
and i'm on fire
is there something i should see?
tell me something to believe
do something useful child
and make up your mind
don't leave me waitin'
cos I won't be here forever
I move fast like stormy weather
don't leave me waitin'
like the shoreline meets the tide
got to surrender deep inside
accept me or say no
make it clear which way to go
cos your powder's dry
and i'm on fire
is there something i should see?
tell me something to believe
do something useful child
and make up your mind
don't leave me waitin'
cos I won't be here forever
I move fast like stormy weather
don't leave me waitin'
like the shoreline meets the tide
got to surrender deep inside
