[Verse 1]
I see you look my way and try to catch your eye
And when you look away I feel like I could die
'Cause I remember how I treated you before
And I can't blame you as you make for the door

[Chorus]
Wait a minute
'Cause it's quite alright
Just don't hurry away, yeah
My day is lonely without you

Wait a minute
Won't you change your mind?
'Cause I'm just hoping you'll stay-ay
My world is empty without you

[Verse 2]
And then you walk towards me like you've changed your mind
But I can't breathe, I feel so awful hot inside
But then you stopped, you walked just halfway 'cross the floor
You turned and smiled at me and walked out through the door

[Chorus]
Wait a minute
'Cause it's quite alright
Just don't hurry away, hey
My days're lonely without you
Wait a minute
Won't you change your mind?
'Cause I'm just hoping you'll stay-ay
My world is empty without you

[Bridge]
Wait a minute (o-ooh)
Wait a minute (o-ooh)
Wait a minute (o-ooh)

[Chorus]
Wait a minute
'Cause it's quite alright
Just don't hurry away-ay-ay-ay
My days're lonely without you

Wait a minute
'Cause it's quite alright
'Cause I'm just hoping you'll stay-ay-ay
My world is empty without you
