  • This is it, this is what I've waited for so long
    Startin' now, gotta trust these feelings comin' on
    Take a chance even though I feel like I should run

    Stayin' with it, let my heart take me there
    Got a feelin', ooh, I'm goin' somewhere
    I'm deep in it and I really do care
    Wait a minute now, boy don't walk out now

    I can see, I can see your disbelievin' eyes
    Don't you know holdin' back your love is so unwise?
    Take a chance, ain't it time you took a lover's stand?

    Stayin' with it, let my heart take me there
    Got a feelin', ooh, I'm goin' somewhere
    Deep in it and I really do care
    Wait a minute now

    Stayin' with it, let my heart take me there
    Got a feelin', ooh, I'm goin' somewhere
    Deep in it and I really do care
    Wait a minute now, baby and don't walk out now

    Stayin' with it, let my heart take me there
    Got a feelin', ooh, I'm goin' somewhere
    Deep in it and I really do care
    Wait a minute now, baby, don't walk out

    Stayin' with it, ooh, stayin' with it
    Stayin' with it, ooh, yeah
    Stayin' with it, don't hold back
    'Cause you gotta take a chance on me

    Stayin' with it, ooh, staying with it
    Stayin' with it, ooh, yeah
    Stayin' with it, don't hold back
    Cause you gotta take a chance on me Writer/s: JOHN PARKER, TOM SNOW
