Patient Man
Impatient Desires: Embracing Love's Urgency
Lyrics
I'm not a patient man
I lack patience in general.
Don't want to take it slow
I prefer a faster-paced approach rather than a slow one.
I've been alone too long
Being alone for an extended period has been challenging for me.
I don't want to go
I'm hesitant about leaving or moving forward.
Just so you'll understand
Expressing the need for the other person to comprehend my impatience.
I'm not a patient man
Reiterating the lack of patience in my nature.
I don't want to wine and dine
Not interested in formal or elaborate romantic gestures.
And date you once or twice
Not interested in a traditional dating process.
I want to hold you now
Desire to be close physically at this moment.
I just want to spend the night
Prefer an immediate and extended connection over just a date.
You tell me a better plan
Open to suggestions but with a preference for a direct approach.
Baby, I'm not a patient man
Reiterating impatience in a romantic context.
I suppose we could talk a while
Considering the option of engaging in conversation for a while.
I don't think that's a waste of time
Believing that talking is not a waste of time.
You could tell me of your life
Interested in learning about the other person's life.
I could tell you parts of mine
Willing to share certain aspects of my own life.
Then I'll take you by the hand
After conversation, a desire to physically connect by holding hands.
Because I'm not a patient man
Emphasizing impatience even after potential conversation.
You've got those big blue eyes
Complimenting the other person's attractive features.
You're pretty as can be
Expressing admiration for the person's physical beauty.
You've got such curly hair
Noting and appreciating specific physical qualities.
Oh, you look just right to me
Confirming that the person looks perfect to me.
That's just about where I stand
Summing up my stance on patience in the context of the relationship.
Baby, I'm not a patient man
Reiterating impatience in a romantic context.
