Well I'm standing here freezing
Outside your golden garden
Got my ladder leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall
And now you're tellin' me . . .
(Chorus)
Think we better wait till tomorrow
(Think I better wait till tomorrow)
Think we better wait till tomorrow
Better make sure it's right, so till tomorrow good night . . .
Oh Dolly Mae, how can you hang me up this way?
On the phone you said you wanna run off with me today
Now I'm standing here like some turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words sputter from the mixed up mind of you
(Chorus)
Think we better wait till tomorrow
(Think I better wait till tomorrow)
Think we better wait till tomorrow
Better make sure it's right, so till tomorrow good night . . .
Oh Dolly Mae girl, you must be insane
So unsure of yourself, hanging from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree?
Click, Bang! what a hang
Your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say, as I fade away!
(Chorus)
Think we better wait till tomorrow
(Think I better wait till tomorrow)
Think we better wait till tomorrow
I won't be around tomorrow!
(or)
Must not have been right, so forever good night!
