When he calls you you don't have to answer right away make him wait
When he small talks before he asks you on a date make him wait
When his pontiac's in the driveway
And his eyes are midnight blue
Take a deep breathe
Do the opposite of what you wanna do
Make him wait by the phone
At the door to meet your dad
Before the first kiss he's gotta hold your hand
You can't get it back when you give yourself away
A boys gonna run but a real man's gonna stay
Girl make him wait
When he says that it'd be easier if you just stayed the night
Make him wait
You're gonna wanna and you're thinkin you just might
But make him wait
Make him wait by the phone
At the door to meet your dad
Before the first kiss he's gotta hold your hand
You can't get it back when you give yourself away
A boys gonna run but a real man's gonna stay
Girl make him wait
They told you love is worth the weight in gold
Like that ring on your hand so
If he's really the one that staying kind then he won't mind
If you make him wait in his tux
Cello sings you down the aisle
Walk slow, take your time while your daddy cries and mama smiles
When they're throwin rice into the air and those tin cans roll away
And you look into his eyes and realize
It was worth the while
To make him wait
