I try to figure just how long it has been

You said you would you said you could

So say now, how long will it be?

I just want to see

Am I impatient, are you taking your time

You spoke about it, talked about it

But I still can't see

What it's supposed to be, yeah

I've always managed to pass things by

But a promise is a promise

So tell me now

What's the excuse this time? Yes

This century is dawning to its close

I could wait forever, stay forever

This thing has been so scarse I must declare

I still can't tell how good you are (how good you are)
