I wanna love you but I don't know what to do
and anyway I just can't keep my mind off you
I'm trying hard you know to think of other things
but they just don't seem to stick if you know what I mean
Laura, oh Laura
You leave me waiting outside for you
And if you'd let me stay with you for just tonight
I'd give you everything and be gone by the morning light
I feel so different now than I did once before
but it doesn't keep me from coming back to your door
Laura, oh Laura
You leave me waiting outside for you
And there is nothing in this world of misery
that shines so brightly as a smile from you to me
And though I live with you, you feel so far away
I wanna tell you everything but I don't know what to say
Laura, oh Laura
You leave me waiting outside for you
You take me in but you leave me waiting
You give me hope but you leave me praying
Oh, I hope that love is on our side
You suck me in but you push me away and
you carry me back and you leave me saying
Oh, I hope that love is on our side
Laura, oh Laura
You leave me waiting outside for you
Oh, I hope that love is on our side for you
but you leave me waiting outside for you
You leave me waiting outside for you, Laura
