Words and Music by Anne M Carley © 1986 – 2002
When bad love happens to good people.
When I start to miss you and my hands reach over to the telephone
When I start to curse at all the wasted time I spent here all alone
When I start to wonder why it ever had to change for you and meI want to talk to you and tell you what I want for us
I want to talk to you and hear you say you want me too
I want to talk to you and get you here beside me
Then I know I got to waitUntil it really doesn’t matter
Got to wait
Until I don’t care if I see you or not
Wait until it really doesn’t matter any moreWhen I want to tell you what my day was like and ask you how was yours
When you don’t remember that you told me you would phone the day beforeI have to stop myself from going to the telephone
I have to stop myself from dreaming half my life away
I have to make myself remember where I stand and who I am
and so I’ll waitUntil it doesn’t really matter
Got to wait
Until I don’t care if I see you again
Wait until it really doesn’t matter any moreI wanted you because you’re good to talk it over with
I wanted you because your eyes had such a soulful look
I have to stop myself from going to the telephone
I wanted kids and marriage and a big church wedding
Then I know I got to waitUntil it really doesn’t matter
Got to wait
Because you won’t be here beside me again
Wait until you really don’t matter any more
I got to wait
until it doesn’t really matter
Got to wait
Till I don’t care whether I see you or not
Wait until it really doesn’t matter any more….
