Make Him Wait

When he calls youCuando te llame

You don't have to answer right awayNo tienes que responder de inmediato

Make him waitHazle esperar

And when he small talksY cuando habla pequeñas

Before he asks you on a dateAntes de que te pida una cita

Make him waitHazle esperar

When his Pontiac's in the drivewayCuando su Pontiac esté en la entrada

And his eyes are midnight blueY sus ojos son azules medianoche

Take a deep breathRespira hondo

Do the opposite of what you wanna doHaz lo contrario de lo que quieres hacer

Make him waitHazle esperar

By the phonePor el teléfono

At the door to meet your dadEn la puerta para conocer a tu padre

Before the first kiss, he's gotta hold your handAntes del primer beso, tiene que tomar tu mano

You can't get it back when you give yourself awayNo puedes recuperarlo cuando te devuelves a ti mismo

A boy's gonna run, but a real man's gonna stayUn chico va a correr, pero un hombre de verdad se va a quedar

Girl, make him waitChica, haz que espere

Make him waitHazle esperar

When he says thatCuando dice que

It'd be easier if you just stay the nightSería más fácil si te quedaras la noche

Make him waitHazle esperar

You're gonna wannaVas a querer

And you're thinkin you just mightY estás pensando que podrías

But make him waitPero hazle esperar

Make him waitHazle esperar

By the phonePor el teléfono

At the door to meet your dadEn la puerta para conocer a tu padre

Before the first kiss, he's gotta hold your handAntes del primer beso, tiene que tomar tu mano

You can't get it back when you give yourself awayNo puedes recuperarlo cuando te devuelves a ti mismo

A boy's gonna run, but a real man's gonna stayUn chico va a correr, pero un hombre de verdad se va a quedar

Girl, make him waitChica, haz que espere

Make him waitHazle esperar

They told me love is worth the weight in goldMe dijeron que el amor vale el peso en oro

Like that ring on your handComo ese anillo en tu mano

So when you find the oneAsí que cuando encuentres el

The staying kindEl tipo de estancia

Then he won't mindEntonces no le importará

If you make him waitSi lo haces esperar

In his tuxEn su esmoquin

Cello sings you down the aisleEl violonchelo te canta por el pasillo

Walk slow, take your timeCamina despacio, tómate tu tiempo

While your daddy cries and your mama smilesMientras tu papá llora y tu mamá sonríe

When they're throwin rice into the airCuando lanzan arroz al aire

And those tin cans roll awayY esas latas se enrollan

And you look into his eyesY le miras a los ojos

And realize it was worth the whileY darse cuenta de que valió la pena el tiempo

To make him waitPara hacerle esperar

Make him waitHazle esperar
