When he calls you, you don't have to answer right away
             Ab     Eb     Bb
Make him wait

Make him wait

When his Pontiac's in the driveway and his eyes are midnight blue

Take a deep breath and do the opposite of what you wanna do

Make him wait, by the phone

Yeah a boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay

They taught me that love is worth the weight in gold

Like that ring on your hand, so

When you find the one, the stayin' kind
              Bbsus2   Bb
Then he won't mind...

Chorus:
                Ab            Eb
If you make him wait, in his tux
       Bb                 Cm
Cellos sing you down the aisle
     Ab                 Eb                     Bb
Walk slow, take your time, while your daddy cries and your mama smiles
            Ab                    Eb             Bb             Cm
And they're throwin' rice in the air and those tin cans roll away
        Ab                 Eb          Bbsus2               Bb
And you look into his eyes, and realize it was worth the while
                   Ab      Eb      Bb     Cm
To make him wait
                   Ab      Eb      Bb
Make him wait
