[Verse 1]
Don't be scared,
it's only natural to feel this way
You're anxious for a brighter day
Wonder when she'll look my way
The water feels cool for a moment or two
But then you're pruned up by the pool
Nothing to do but watch her swim
Then she asks, did you want to come in?
[Chorus]
Don't be a fool
I know you're waiting for the right time
(I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting)
If you don't jump, you'll lose her
If you stand still, you'll cry
Don't be a fool
Just say the words that come
to your mind
(I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting)
If you don't jump, you'll lose her
If you stand still, you'll cry
[Post-Chorus]
(I know you're waiting for the)
I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting
I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting
I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting
I know you're waiting, I,
I know you'rе waiting
[Verse 2]
She was overseas chasing drеams
that summer
Call me on the phone
to talk about a new lover
Oblivious, life without a care
I don't have the right to call you unaware
But maybe she dreams the same as you
(Same as you)
And a life you see is coming true
(Coming true)
Not as far as it used to be
You owe it to yourself it's only fair
[Chorus]
Don't be a fool
I know you're waiting for the right time
(I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting)
If you don't jump, you'll lose her
If you stand still, you'll cry
Don't be a fool
Just say the words that come to your mind
(I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting)
If you don't jump, you'll lose her
If you stand still, you'll cry
[Post-Chorus]
(I know you're waiting for the)
I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting
I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting
I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting
I know you're waiting, I,
I know you're waiting
