Waiting for Laura

I guess I'm always havin' to wait
 Like when you showed up late to our second date
 And you spilled Pad Thai on my shirt and tie
 You live in Roosevelt darlin'
 I mean, who lives there?
 But I love the way you bit your lip and tossed your hair
 And every time I saw you it was like the fourth of July
 Seems like I've been waiting all my life for Laura
 I was treading water 'till the day you came
 You know by now just how, I adore ya
 You know I've never ever been the same
 For your asthma I gave up smoking and pets
 But thank God we both love the Mets
 'Cause I'll give up pot, but not my favorite team
 And I got no grounds for criticizing
 Doing wails since I fell into advertising
 And as long as I'm with you, I'm livin' the dream
 Seems like I've been waiting all my life for Laura
 Guess I was biding all of my precious time
 You know by now just how I fell for you
 Tell me that you'll be my partner in crime
 I've been thinking 'bout a ring
 It's a pretty little thing
 Just a nice piece of bling and it ain't from a mall
 
 You can wear a gown
 We can go out of town
 Or maybe we could go straight down to City Hall (Yeah!)

 Seems like I've been waiting all my life for Laura
 Guess I can wait a little more
 Don't take too long
 I implore ya
 'Cause you're all I'm living for
