Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's late evening, a quarter past overdue Overdue, a call, a lonely call from you A quarter past overdue [Verse 2] I don't just want you when I find myself alone I could be in a crowd of people and you'd still feel like home And that's the difference I suppose [Pre-Chorus] They'll say good things come to good wives who wait Keep your cool, girl, keep your faith Good things come to good wives who wait Keep your cool, girl, keep your faith [Chorus] And time keeps tickin' on And I get wiser the longer I'm gone Oh, time, it keeps tickin' on And I get wiser the longer I'm gone [Verse 3] I kept walking beside your white walls That were meant to keep me kept and warm But it's a new day, babe, it's a new dawn [Pre-Chorus] And they'll say good things come to good wives who wait Keep your cool, girl, keep your faith Good things come to good wives who wait Keep your cool, girl, take the bait [Chorus] And time keeps tickin' on And I get wiser the longer I'm gone Oh, time, it keeps tickin' on And I get wiser [Outro] Good things come to good wives who wait Keep your cool, girl, keep your faith Good things come to good wives who wait Go on, take the bait
