He had one hand on the wheel   Of his two door Chevy Cavalier   And the other one was runnin'   Through the waves of her sandy hair      It was well past twelve   When they pulled into her parents drive   She didn't think anyone was watchin'   When she kissed him goodnight, busted      Her momma told her   She was grounded for a year   Her daddy said that boy   Ain't welcome around here      She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs   You can say what you wanna say   Lock me up, throw the key away   But if this is really fate then love will wait, love will wait      Two months later her momma   Finally let her off the hook   She said, ?I'm headin' uptown   To return a few library books?      But she climbed in the Cavalier   Sittin' at the Amoco station   He told her time don't matter   Love was worth the waitin', a love sweet, oh yeah      Her momma told her   She was grounded for a year   Her daddy said that boy   Ain't welcome around here      She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs   You can say what you wanna say   Lock me up, throw the key away   But if this is really fate then love will wait, oh yeah      Now there's a little white house   On the edge of a country lake   And daddy's workin' on that   Rusty old Chevy in the driveway      The kids are playin' with the dog   Throwin' frisbee in the front yard   And mama's sittin' on that front porch   Swayin', starin' at that car where it all started      Her momma told her   She was grounded for a year   Her daddy said that boy   Ain't welcome around here      She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs   You can say what you wanna say   Lock me up, throw the key away   But if this is really fate then fate's gonna have it's way, love will wait      You can try to step in between   Love and destiny but what will be will be   Love will wait, oh yeah, love will wait
