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.
