[English]

Never thought I was the restless kind

But you keep running through my lonely mind

They tell me good things come to those who wait

But I got it bad and I can't stand it babe

Ooh

Daydreaming about you

I-I'm crazy without you

Ooh

Now you better come running

And when are you coming

back to me, yeah

So, baby, don't you make me wait

I won't last another day

I can't take it, this impatience

It's all you've got me feeling now

No, you can't take your time

Without you I'd lose my mind

I can't take it, this impatience

It's all you've got me feeling now

(Whoa, whoa)

(Whoa, whoa)

I can't take it, this impatience

'Cause I'm waiting baby

With every second seeming like an hour

You know I need you, and I need you now

Can you cure me with your company

Anticipation taking over me

Ooh

Daydreaming about you

I-I'm crazy without you

Ooh

Now you better come running

And when are you coming

back to me, yeah

So, baby, don't you make me wait

I won't last another day

I can't take it, this impatience

It's all you've got me feeling now

No, you can't take your time

Without you I'd lose my mind

I can't take it, this impatience

It's all you've got me feeling now

(Whoa, whoa)

(Whoa, whoa)

I can't take it, this impatience

'Cause I've been waiting baby

Oh, I'll let you have your space

And with my patience almost gone

I will keep holding on

as long as it takes

So, baby, don't you make me wait

I won't last another day

I can't take it, this impatience

It's all you've got me feeling now

No, you can't take your time

Without you I'd lose my mind

I can't take it, this impatience

It's all you've got me feeling now

(Whoa, whoa)

(Whoa, whoa)

I can't take it, this impatience

'Cause I've been waiting baby

(Whoa, whoa)

(Whoa, whoa)

(Whoa, whoa)

(Whoa, whoa)
