[Verse]
They say abCsence makes the heart grow Cfonder
Well that don't Fmake much sense to me
I guess to seFe then one of us will have to waCnder
They say dCistance will make our love grow stCronger
Well that don't mFake much sense to me
I guess we'll sFee if it can change how much I wCant ya
[Pre- Chorus]
They say patAmience is a virtue
Without knowGing what we're going or we've beFen through
And you kAmnow it's up to us two
To deciGde when this debate will be coFntinued
[Chorus]
'cause I'm hCead over heels for yFou and that's fiDmneF  
Now I doCn't know what to Fdo with my tDmimeF  
I'm hCead over heels for yFou and that's fDmineF  
'cause now you're not Cby my sFide
I don't know wDmhy FI act this wayC  
[Verse]
All this distaCnce has made my love sClow
I know this is Fdifficult darling
But it's haFrd for me as well you know
And I've Cgot these commitments, you know I had to goC  
These things you've saFid are so unkind
They've got me gFoing out my mind
But I'm trCying not to let it sChow
[Pre- Chorus]
They say patience iAms a virtue
Without knGowing what we're going or we've bFeen through
