I guess it's true what they say Life dances at its own pace And we danced along that day At 5 in the morning as she kissed my face I never thought that anyone Would drive all night just to be with me She took a car from Baltimore Oh, all the way up to Brooklyn And no, she don't live in Baltimore She'd flown in from Mexico City And yes, when her flight rerouted her She said: "Babe, I'm coming! Get ready!" I guess it's true what they say Good things come to those who wait And she loved me right that day We kissed in the car seat, I opened the gate I never thought that anyone Would drive all night just to be with me She took a car from Baltimore Oh, all the way up to Brooklyn And no, she don't live in Baltimore She'd flown in from Mexico City And yes, when her flight rerouted her She said: "Babe, I'm coming! Get ready!" Well, now I don't live in Brooklyn, no I'm livin' wherever she's missin' me I can't wait to make a plan with her So soon we won't need all this visiting Well, I guess it's true what they say Real love comes when you're ready
