You say your love must wait but I ain't got that long

You cry to me every other night 'cause another guy led you on

​

I'm not criticizing, baby

Oh, I want you to know

I'll sit back and watch you do your thing

But won't you realize that maybe

The loving you want

Could be so much closer than you think (yeah)

​

I'd learn all my lines, but you'd never buy a single one

So I just wait to reply like you haven't been on every one of my thoughts

I'm not hard to get, love

So come and get me up

I'm not hard to get, love

So come and get me up

​

I see all your gears twisting 'round as you're casting me out of the running

It's tough that showing some love means calling your bluff or surrendering

​

If I never met you, honey

Things would be easier

Or maybe I choose to love you, I don't know

But I'll never wait up

On you to wake up and suddenly

Want my hand to hold

​

Oh, I'd learn all my lines, but you'd never buy a single one

So I just wait to reply like you haven't been on every one of my thoughts

I'm not hard to get, love

So come and get me up

I'm not hard to get, love

So come and get me up

I'm not hard to get, love

So come and get me up

I'm not hard to get, love

So come and get me up
