Once Again

(Child, I'm)
Yes, I'm sitting right here
Waiting for a-you my dear
Wondering if a-you ever
Gonna show up (Show up)
I don't know if you gonna show
My darling I got to go
But never-the-less, I said
You got-a me waitin'
(Sittin' in the park waiting for you-hoo-hoo)
(Child, I'm)
Sitting here on the bench
With my back against the fence
Wonderin' if I have any sense (Child, I'm)
Somethin' tells me I'm a fool
To let you treat me so cruel
But never-the-less, I say again
You got-a me waiting
(Sittin' in the park, waiting for you-hoo-hoo)
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why? (Tell me why)
Won't you tell me why?
Oh, my darling I said-a right now
Good girl
I wanna know why?
Why?
(Tell him what-a-matter)
(Sitting in the park, waiting for you-hoo-hoo)
(Tell him what-a-matter)
Sitting here on the bench
With my back against the fence
Wondering if I have any sense
(Tell her don't matter)
Somethin' tells me I'm a fool
Let you treat me so cruel
Never-the-less, I said
You got-a me waiting
(Sitting in the park, waiting for you-hoo-hoo)
(Sitting)
Hope I'm not gonna wait (In the park)
I am tired of waiting
No longer gonna wait, girl
Any longer (Sitting in the park)
I'm tired of waiting (In the park)
Oh Lord, I'm not a-gonna wait
No
No longer gonna wait, child
