You say you'd always be proud of me
Well, I'm gonna see that you do, baby
I'll be nobody, nothin' if I do what you want me to, yeah

Marryin' now, struggle 'bout anyway anyhow
Living in misery is that how you want it to be

No, baby, let's wait
No, baby, let's wait
We've got time

You say you'll always be needin' me
Well, I'm gonna see that you do, baby
I'll be somebody's somethin' if you wait, babe, I promise you, yeah

'Cause I got my pride, our kids gonna hold his head up high
Nothin' like you and me, victim of poverty

No, baby, let's wait
No, baby, let's wait
We've got time

No, baby, let's wait
No, baby, let's wait
No, baby, let's wait
