Love Will Wait

He had one hand on the wheel

Of his two door Chevy Cavalier

And the other one was runnin'

Through the waves of her sandy hair

It was well past twelve

When they pulled into her parents drive

She didn't think anyone was watchin'

When she kissed him goodnight busted

Her momma told her

She was grounded for a year

Her daddy said that boy

Ain't welcome around here

She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs

You can say what you wanna say

Lock me up throw the key away

But if this is really fate then love will wait love will wait

Two months later her momma

Finally let her off the hook

She said I'm headin' uptown

To return a few library books

But she climbed in the Cavalier

Sittin' at the Amoco station

He told her time don't matter

Love was worth the waitin' a love sweet oh yeah

Her momma told her

She was grounded for a year

Her daddy said that boy

Ain't welcome around here

She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs

You can say what you wanna say

Lock me up throw the key away

But if this is really fate then love will wait oh yeah

Now there's a little white house

On the edge of a country lake

And daddy's workin' on that

Rusty old Chevy in the driveway

The kids are playin' with the dog

Throwin' frisbee in the front yard

And mama's sittin' on that front porch

Swayin' starin' at that car where it all started

Her momma told her

She was grounded for a year

Her daddy said that boy

Ain't welcome around here

She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs

You can say what you wanna say

Lock me up throw the key away

But if this is really fate then fate's gonna have it's way love will wait

You can try to step in between

Love and destiny but what will be will be

Love will wait oh yeah love will wait
