I guess I'm always havin' to wait
Like when you showed up late to our second date
And you spilled Pad Thai on my shirt and tie
You live in Roosevelt darlin'
I mean, who lives there?
But I love the way you bit your lip and tossed your hair
And every time I saw you it was like the fourth of July
Seems like I've been waiting all my life for Laura
I was treading water 'till the day you came
You know by now just how, I adore ya
You know I've never ever been the same
For your asthma I gave up smoking and pets
But thank God we both love the Mets
'Cause I'll give up pot, but not my favorite team
And I got no grounds for criticizing
Doing wails since I fell into advertising
And as long as I'm with you, I'm livin' the dream
Seems like I've been waiting all my life for Laura
Guess I was biding all of my precious time
You know by now just how I fell for you
Tell me that you'll be my partner in crime
I've been thinking 'bout a ring
It's a pretty little thing
Just a nice piece of bling and it ain't from a mall
You can wear a gown
We can go out of town
Or maybe we could go straight down to City Hall (Yeah!)

Seems like I've been waiting all my life for Laura
Guess I can wait a little more
Don't take too long
I implore ya
'Cause you're all I'm living for
