gotta stop and ponder this thing seriously
thought that you and I could end this easily
never wanted you to see this side of me
now that’s all she sees
but bonnie can wait
like a fool she can wait
till her hair has grown silver
and spring turns to fall
bonnie can wait
best believe she can wait
till you’re telling your story
to no one at all
seasons closing in and things ain’t very clear
I got a mess to do and I just can’t do it here
till the time when you and me live in luxury
but that’s too far away for me to see (right now)
and bonnie can wait
like a fool she can wait
till she’s out of your system
and down from your wall
bonnie can wait
best believe she can wait
till you’re telling your story
to no one at all
well it’s all in the expressions in her mother’s eyes-
every girl needs a plan
every heart needs a hand
can we smile in spite of all these bitter flings
time for you and me to move on to bigger things
got an alligator running after me
hope he ain’t faster than me
but bonnie can wait
like a fool she can wait
till you’re out of your spiral
and bound for the fall
bonnie can wait
best believe she will wait
till you’re telling that story
to no one at all
like a fool she can wait
till your welcome is worn
like the rug in her hall
bonnie can wait
best believe she will wait
till you’re telling your story
to no one at all
till you’re telling that story
to no one at all.
