Patience
Patient, I need to be patient
I need to just wait
But how can I wait when there are millions of birthdays going on
When there are so many people getting butterflies in their stomachs' for the first time
When thousands of people are having their first kiss
Patient, patient, patient
I mustn' t rush this
Patience is what I need
Am I going to get it?
That depends
Depends on who is going to plan that birthday party
Why so many people are getting butterflies in their stomachs'
And who those other hundreds people are getting their first kiss from
Patient
Patient
Patience
