This Boy Can Wait - The Wedding Present

Let me stay and talk with you and John

We could laugh and tell jokes all night long

Another glass and I’m sure I could explain

But you could maybe guess that I’ve got to see your friend again

Oh yes I know it’s late, oh but this boy can wait

This boy can wait

Oh there’s nothing more that you could do

I’ve just got to see this through

My heart beats so fast whenever you are near

My tongue gets tied up whenever you can hear

When I touch your hand why do we have to hide behind these doors?

If the world doesn’t understand, then the world has got to learn

Oh yes I know it’s late, oh but this boy can wait

This boy can wait

Oh there’s nothing more that you could do

I’ve just got to see this through

Tonight, when I hold you in my arms

And I prove that I’m a man

Oh well I hope you understand
