How low down does that old sun have to set?

How lonely does a good girl have to get?

Do I just hold my breath until I'm blue?

How long am I supposed to wait for you?

How many teardrops will I have to cry?

How many sleepless nights will pass me by?

Boy, don't tell me nothing but the truth

How long am I supposed to wait for you?

You're never at home, home, home

Whenever I call, call, call

The phone goes ring, ring, ring

I don't know what to think

The thought of losing you is my worst fear

Ain't nothing left to love if you ain't here

Boy, what in the world you been up to?

How long am I supposed to wait for you?

You're never at home, home, home

Whenever I call, call, call

The phone goes ring, ring, ring

I don't know what to think

One day, when you get tired of bein' gone

You're gonna wish you hadn't done me wrong

But don't come back here moaning the blues

How long was I supposed to wait for you?

No, don't come back here moaning the blues

How long was I supposed to wait for you?
