Well, I'm standing here freezing, inside 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
But now you're telling me that ah...
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right
So until tomorrow goodnight
Oh, dolly mae
How can you hang me up this way
Oh the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm standing here like some turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed up mind of you
And you keep telling me that ah...
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right
So until tomorrow goodnight
Oh, dolly mae
Girl, you must be insane
So unsure of yourself learning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree?
Click, bang
Oh, what a hang
Your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say
As I fade away
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It must not have been right, so forever, goodnight
We don't have to wait till tomorrow...
