Ernest Tubb and Loretta Lynn
"Let's Wait A Little Longer" lyrics

Let's Wait A Little Longer

I can see you are not happy
The way you've been acting
And I think you'd like to be free
I know he's a good man
But I know that you can
Be a whole lot
Happier with me

In your eyes there's a yearning
And inside you're a burning
And I'd like to put out the flame
So let's get together
Like birds of a feather
And we let the love take the blame

But right now
I don't think
That I can leave him
For lately
He's been so good to me
And there might
Be one small chance
That things might work out
So let's wait
A little longer
Then we'll see

But the way I can make you
Forget him cause I'll take you
To places that you've never been
We may call the night spots
The dim and the bright spots
And then we'll forget where we've been

We'll walk sunny beaches
And taste Georgia peaches
And swing from Maine to Mexico
If you'll come along
We can make life a song
And you won't be tied down anymore

But still
I don't think
That I can leave him
For lately
He's been so good to me
And there might
Be one small chance
That things might work out
So let's wait
A little longer
Then we'll see

Yes, let's wait
A little longer
Then we'll see
