Lyrics[]
Waiting for you It's a lonely business What more can I do I could be here until Christmas Why do you want to go saying those sins about me? Don't you know that a girl can't be made to hurry? Don't you want me to feel like a million dollars? I'm just taking some time out to make a difference Chained, one step over the line Trying to get something to work All I need is someone to say After all What's the mystery? When everybody wants to know About destiny Just trying to kill a little time Working hard day to day Why complain about it Don't you know that a man can't be mad about it Woman at the top Why's the story so familiar Something's got to drop For this hombre to remain here Chained, dream up some while she's trying Trying to find something to wear All you need is someone to say Here we go What's the mystery? When everybody wants to know About destiny Are you ready for the use of time? Waiting for you It's a lonely business What more can I do I could be here until Christmas Chained, one step over the line Trying to get something to work All I need is someone to say After all What's the mystery? When everybody wants to know About destiny Just trying to kill a little time What's the mystery? 'cause everybody wants to know What's their destiny? Are you ready for the use of time? What's the mystery?
