Waiting for the water to boil,
Praying for the coffee to drip.
I’m waiting for the water to boil,
Praying for the coffee to drip.
I am going out of my mind.
You’re the cause of it.
What shall I do today?
Where will I go?
What shall I do today?
Where will I go?
You just left my house this morning
And already my loneliness is starting to show
“Meet me by the gazebo!”
That’s all you need to say.
In a minute, day, hour, or year
Baby, I am already on my way!
This just might break me,
‘Cause you know I hate to wait.
I keep waking up too early
Worrying that you made your get away.
I’m going out of my mind
because I miss you so bad.
I’m going out of my mind
‘cause I miss you so bad.
I’ll try to hoe a long row
And slap a smile on my face.
I’ll hoe a long row
And slap a smile on my face.
But my smile won’t mean a thing
‘Til you come ‘liven up my place.
