Ample Patience

© Barbara S. Garriel
Lyrics and Music by Barbara S. Garriel

Ample patience, ample time,
Ample waiting for you, man of mine
But I’m getting tired of being blue.
I’ve been so patient waiting here for you.

When I first met you, you gave me the line
You didn’t need no other women or wine.
And I was so young and foolish, had such stars in my eyes.
For the longest time I believed your lies.

I give you, ample patience, ample time,
Ample waiting for you, man of mine.
But once again you’re overdue.
And I’m getting restless waiting here for you.

I gave you lots of room, to move around.
Made sure you didn’t feel like you were tied down.
But then you left me. You strayed away.
And I’ve been waiting for you day after day.
(Are you ‘gonna change your ways?)

Chorus: Instrumental

I finally had enough of this.
Oh, you can keep your empty promises, your hugs and your kis-ses
And if you find yourself feeling lonely and sad
Just keep passing thru cause you made me mad.
(Well, it’s just too bad, cause you made me mad.)

I gave you, ample patience, ample time,
Ample waiting for you, man of mine.
But I’m so finished, oh yes I’m through.
I’m over and done with the likes, the likes, the likes of you.
