Sooner or later, I’m gonna have you
Oh girl, I have to have you

Sitting in a quiet little restaurant
Can’t make up my mind, but I know what I want
And still you keep me waiting – oo, you keep me waiting

I think about you every night and day
No question in my mind you feel the same way
And still you keep me waiting – oo, you keep me waiting

Just a silly game you keep on playing
Go on - it’s your move
Don’t keep me hanging

Sooner or later, I’m gonna have you
Oh girl, I have to have you
It didn’t take too long to see
How you’ve been looking at me
Sooner or later, I’m gonna have you
Oh girl, I have to have you

It seems we’re closer now than before
I’m right here - just walk on through that open door
And still you keep me waiting – oo, you keep me waiting

Sooner or later, I’m gonna have you
Oh girl, I have to have you
It didn’t take too long to see
How you’ve been looking at me
Sooner or later, I’m gonna have you
Oh girl, I have to have you
It didn’t take too long to see
How you’ve been looking at me

Songwriter's Notes: This song tells the age-old story of the pursuit of love, set to an upbeat tempo and pop/rock feel. The object of the singer’s desires is a young lady who does not seem to notice or even care for the man’s feelings. Nonetheless, the protagonist never loses hope of getting her attention, and seeking a relationship with the girl of his dreams.
