The next in line will be someone who loves you   The next in line is me, 'cause it's my time   Now how long will it be till you end my misery?   You better be prepared to linger when you get to me      The time has come for you to love me, if you ever are   Come to me now, so I can make you mine   I watched them rush to you so fast, I waited so I'd be the last   It's my time, 'cause I'm the next in line      The next in line will want your love forever   The next in line is me and here I am   Give me a day or two and I'll get through to you   You'd been my baby long ago, if you'd turned down a few      This old heart can't take much more waitin' for your love   I'm tired and we're runnin' short of time   I'll make you love me more than everyone before   It's my time to try, 'cause I'm the next in line      I stood and watched you take their hearts and break 'em one by one   My time is comin', so I waited while you had your fun   Now I'm through a-waitin' way behind   It's my time, 'cause I'm the next in line
