Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I've been waiting for you

To come around and tell me the truth

About everything that you're going through

My girl, you've got nothing to lose

Cold nights and the Sunday mornings

On your way and out of the gray

I've got time, I've got love

Got confidence you'll rise above

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Crowded town, silent bed

Pick a place to rest your head

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Give me a minute to hold my girl

I've been dreaming 'bout us

Working hard and saving it up

We'll go and see the man on the moon

My girl, we've got nothing to lose

Cold nights and the Sunday mornings

On your way and out of the gray

I've got time, I've got love

Got confidence you'll rise above

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Crowded town, silent bed

Pick a place to rest your head, and

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Give me a minute to hold my girl

...

My girl, my girl

It takes one hard second to turn it around

It takes one hard second to turn it around

I've got time, I've got love

Got confidence you'll rise above

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Crowded town, silent bed

Pick a place to rest your head, and

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Give me a minute to hold my girl

I've got time and I've got love

Got confidence you'll rise above

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Crowded town, silent bed

Pick a place to rest your head

Give me a minute to hold my girl

Give me a minute to hold my girl

...
