God Wants Us to Wait Songtext
von The Magnetic Fields

I think I know what you would like us to do
When we have children let′s have seventy-two
Until then we must be resigned to our fate
I love you baby but God wants us to wait

I guess it's true I should have told you before
And not have waited ′til we're nude on the floor
Though it would be the perfect end to our date
I love you baby but God wants us to wait


Now you might to kiss the dew on my hem
But when male and female create it heathen
Our lord intended us forever to mate
I love you baby but God wants us to wait

Despite my beauty and the scent of jasmine
Could you be happy in the knowledge of sin?
Although it may not be a crime in our state
I love you baby but God wants us to wait

How much more wonderful to anticipate
I love you baby but God wants us to wait
