Early in the morning, just by the break of day   Well that's when my patience went away   She took her bags but she left all her clothes   She took her keys and left me out in the cold   Wearing a plastic coat   And the pressures of life through lack of patience   I get the pressures of her   Patience is a girl that I hate to love the way I do, but I do   She wakes me up in the morning through squeaking in my dreams   She took her bags but she left all her clothes   She took her keys and left me out in the cold   All because of patience   I get the pressures of life through lack of patience   I get the pressures of her   She beat me up and left me out in the pouring rain   Without no keys, without no reason to go back again   She left me empty-handed, she left me empty-hearted   Not no money, not nothing but the blues   All because of patience   I get the pressures of life through lack of patience   I get the pressures of her   She said the one thing that she needs is happiness   I don't believe that she's happy 'til she sees that I'm in distress   No, all because of patience   I get the pressures of life through lack of patience   I get the pressures of her   And I swoon
