God Wants Us to Wait

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shirley Simms] I think I know what you would like us to do When we have children let's have seventy-two Until then we must be resigned to our fate [Refrain: Shirley Simms] I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait [Verse 2: Shirley Simms] I guess it's true I should have told you before And not have waited 'til we're nude on the floor Though it would be the perfect end to our date [Refrain: Shirley Simms] I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait [Verse 3: Shirley Simms] Now you might like to kiss the dew on my hem But one male and female created He them Our Lord intended us forever to mate [Refrain: Shirley Simms] I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait [Verse 4: Shirley Simms] Despite my beauty and the scent of jasmine Could you be happy in the knowledge of sin? Although it may not be a crime in our state [Refrain: Shirley Simms] I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait How much more wonderful to anticipate I love you, baby, but God wants us to wait
