Awhile

You've been wanting a ring on your finger
for awhile now...
but you've been with all of the wrong guys
for awhile now../

but baby girl, here I am..
knocking on your door
and you know I've been here for you
a time or two before..
give me your finger and let this moment linger./

Now I know you were with that guy
and you just don't know how many times..
I used to scratch my head and wonder why
I knew he was no good for you
but that's water under the bridge,
so why don't you give me a try??/

because love,
here I am...
with my heart in my hand...
knocking on your bedroom door..
and in my mind, I've been here a time
or two before..
give me your finger and let this moment linger../

I tried to tell you what was on my mind..
do you remember the time?
At the subway station about three months ago?/

I guess you didn't take me seriously
but I've bided my time
I've decided to take it slow../

You've been wanting a ring on your finger
for awhile now...
and I've been wanting to put one on it for awhile now.
and lady, I'm a reborn man
coming to you strong with my heart in my hand...
just give me your finger and let THESE feelings
linger./
