[Verse 1]
You've got me captured, I'm under your spell
I guess I'll never learn
I have your picture, yes, I know it well
Another page is turned
Are you for real? It's so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me
[Chorus]
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are

Look what that does to me
[Chorus]
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
[Outro]
I'll wait 'til your love comes down
I'm coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now
As fine as you are
I'll wait
