I'm tired and we're runnin' short of time
The time has come for you to love me, if you ever are
Come to me now, so I can make you mine
I'll make you love me more than everyone before
This old heart can't take much more waitin' for your love
The next in line is me and here I am
You'd been my baby long ago, if you'd turned down a few
Give me a day or two and I'll get through to you
You better be prepared to linger when you get to me
I watched them rush to you so fast, I waited so I'd be the last
It's my time to try, 'cause I'm the next in line
It's my time, 'cause I'm the next in line
I stood and watched you take their hearts and break 'em one by one
Now I'm through a-waitin' way behind
My time is comin', so I waited while you had your fun
Now how long will it be till you end my misery?
The next in line will want your love forever
