Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him,

'Cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...

It's hard to see with so many around
You know, I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)

And the streets don't change but, baby, the names
I ain't got time for the game (Gotta have some patience, yeah)
'Cause I need you, yeah
Yeah, but I need you (All it takes is patience, yeah)

Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)
Oh, I need you (Is all you need)
Oh, this time
