Early in the morning just by the break of day
That's when my Patience went away
She took her bags but she left all her clothes
She took her keys & left me out in the cold
Wearing a plastic coat
& the pressures of life
Through lack of Patience
I get the pressures of love
Patience is a girl that I hate to love the way I do
But I do
She wakes me up in the morning through screaming in my dreams
She took her bags but she left all her clothes
She took her keys & left me out in the cold
All because of Patience
I get the pressures of life
Through lack of Patience
I get the pressures of love
She beat me up & left me out in the pouring rain
Without no keys, without no reason to go back again
She left me empty-handed
She left me empty-hearted
Not no money not nothing but the blues
All because of Patience
I get the pressures of life
Through lack of Patience
I get the pressures of love
She said the one thing that she needs is happiness
I don't believe that she's happy until she sees that I'm in distress
No
All because of Patience
I get the pressures of life
Through lack of Patience
I get the pressures of love
& I swoon
