Like Everyone She Knows

Like  everyone  she  knows

She's  holding  out  for  truelove

Waiting  on  an  answer

Ready  for  a  change

And  everywhere  she  goes

She's  just  a  little  bit  on  the  lookout

A  day  might  mean  tomorrow

Questions  still  remain

It's  not  that  she's  so  sad

She  always  was  a  happy  soul

But  lately  she  gets  to  wonder  to  herself

What's  the  good  of  going  on  anymore

I  see  her  in  her  room

Sitting  at  the  window

Wondering  if  she's  pretty

Feeling  just  a  little  small  tonight

She  thinks  of  going  home

Giving  up  on  the  city

Maybe  moving  back  down  to  Mobile

It's  not  that  far  to  fall

I  know  she  won't  see  me

But  I  might  just  say  anyhow

If  I  could  be  right  there  right  now

As  I  myself  was  told

Hold  tight  to  your  heart's  desire

Never  ever  let  it  go

Let  nobody  fool  you  into  giving  it  up  too  soon

Tend  your  own  fire

Lay  low  and  be  strong

Wait  awhile

Wait  it  out

Wait  it  on  out

Wait  it  out

It'll  come  along

I  know  she  won't  see  me

But  I  might  just  say  anyhow

If  I  could  be  right  there  right  now

As  I  myself  was  told

Hold  tight  to  your  heart's  desire

Never  ever  let  it  go

Let  nobody  fool  you  into  giving  it  up  too  soon

Tend  your  own  fire

Lay  low  and  be  strong

Wait  it  out

Wait  it  out

Wait  it  on  out

Wait  it  out

Let  it  come  along

Oh,  wait  awhile

Wait  awhile
