Venicia Wilson - Standing on the Sidelines

Oh baby baby
Standing on the sidelines

Waiting for my time to show you that
I could be your only one
She's never been a woman for you
So I'm telling you I'll bide my time until she's done

Cause she's messing round with your heart
But I'm always there to break your fall
If you'd only wake up and be smart
Hear my call

Can't you see me standing on the sidelines
Waiting here for love to take the stage
Standing on the sidelines
My life's an open book if you turn the page

Seeing the way she treats you I don't understand it
And my heart it just rips apart
If I was standing there in her shoes I can promise you
I'd help you make a brand new start

So I took my time and made me a plan
If it takes until eternity
In my heart I know you will be my man
You and me are destined to be

Can't you see me standing on the sidelines
Waiting here for love to take the stage
Standing on the sidelines
My life's an open book if you turn the page

Just turn the page
Cause I'm standing on the sidelines
Baby

Can't you see me standing on the sidelines
Waiting here for love to take the stage
Standing on the sidelines
My life's an open book if you turn the page
My life's an open book if you turn the page

I know you're being patient
More than I taught myself how much I need to hesitate
Cause fools rush in and good things always happen
In the end to those who wait

I stood back and watched the fireworks blow
It's only just a matter of time
Till you turn around and tell her to go
How she treated you was such a crime

Can't you see me standing on the sidelines
Waiting here for love to take the stage
Standing on the sidelines
My life's an open book if you turn the page

Standing on the sidelines
Waiting here for love to take the stage
Standing on the sidelines
My life's an open book if you turn the page
