The Supremes Lyrics
"Wait A Minute Before You Leave Me"

Just sixty seconds of your time
To listen to this plea of mine
Don't let your heart be made of stone
(Be made of stone)
Just say the past is bygone
Wait a minute (wait)
Before you leave me (hold on)
Hold on before you go

I know that I was such a fool
I used your heart just like a tool
I'll be your puppet on a string
(Puppet on a string)
And baby, I'll do anything

Turn around
Don't walk out that door
I want you, baby, more than before
Wait a minute (wait)
Before you leave me (hold on)
Hold on before you go

Oh, oh, wait a minute, baby
(Wait a minute before you leave me)
Hold on (hold on before you go)
Wait a minute, baby
(Wait a minute before you leave me)
Hold on (hold on before you go)

If I must beg to keep you by my side
I'm not ashamed to give up my pride
Wait a minute (wait)
Before you leave me (hold on)
Hold on before you go

I left you standing all alone
You reached for me and I was gone
In other words, I was unwise
(I was unwise)
And for this I apologize

Baby, please, please hurry
Say you'll forgive me
I'm beginning to worry
Wait a minute (wait)
Before you leave me (hold on)
Hold on before you go

Oh, wait a minute, baby
(Wait a minute before you leave me)
Hold on (hold on before you go)
Wait a minute, baby
(Wait a minute before you leave me)
Hold on (hold on before you go)
I didn't mean to hurt you
(Wait a minute before you leave me)
Oh, hold on, baby (hold on before you go)
Wait, wait, wait a minute, baby
Hold on before you go
