How Soon Lyrics by Joe

All That I Am

1997

[Intro]
Wait a minute, baby, you're packing your bags? (How soon)
Nah, don't do that
Wait a minute
Why don't you stay a while (How soon)
We can work this out
Sit down, let's talk about it

[Chorus]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume
Girl, this damn bed is cold
Nothing to hold on to
Oh yeah, the phone is cool
But girl I need you here
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here?

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna miss you more than you know
Every time you leave, I wanna beg you not to go
We have so much fun, girl, don't we, though?
When you pack your bags to leave
I try not to let my feelings show

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard for me
Especially after you've been around
Distant lovers are what we are
And girl it's breaking me down

[Chorus]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume
Girl, this damn bed is cold
(Said it's so cold)
Nothing to hold on to
(Nothing to hold on to)
Oh yeah, the phone is cool (Alright)
But girl I need you here (Right here)
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here?

[Verse 2]
When will I see you? It's never too soon
Can you come in the morning and leave later on that afternoon
See, I'm just a shell whenever you're away
Girl, I'd give anything just to see you every day

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so hard for me
Especially after you've been around
Distant lovers are what we are
And girl it's breaking me down
You're a career girl
You gotta do what you gotta do
As much as I want you here with me
Girl, I'm so damn proud of you

[Chorus]
I miss your smiling face
The smell of your perfume
Girl, this damn bed is cold (Said it's so cold, baby)
Nothing to hold on to (Nothing to hold on to)
Oh yeah, the phone is cool
(I like talking to you on the phone)
But girl I need you here (Whatever it takes)
Be it plane, train or automobile (Whatever you need)
How soon can you get here?
(I'll get it if you just get here, baby, yeah)

I miss your smiling face (Smile for me)
The smell of your perfume (Smell so good, baby)
Girl, this damn bed is cold (So cold)
Nothing to hold on to (I need to hold on to)
Oh yeah, the phone is cool
But girl I need you here
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here?

[Bridge]
Get here
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah (How soon)
Ooh baby
Girl, I hate to see you leave (Don't leave)
Can't you see it's killing me? (It's killing me)
Be it plane (Plane), train (Train) or automobile (Automobile)
Get here (Ooh)

[Chorus]
I miss your smiling face (Smiling face, baby)
The smell of your perfume (Oh, you look so good, baby)
Girl, this damn bed is cold (So cold)
Nothing to hold on to (Nothing to hold on to, no)
Oh yeah, the phone is cool
But girl I need you here
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here? (Yeah yeah)
I miss your smiling face (Smiling face, baby)
The smell of your perfume (The smell of your perfume)
Girl, this damn bed is cold (So damn cold)
Nothing to hold on to
(What am I supposed to hold on to?)
Oh yeah, the phone is cool
But girl I need you here
Be it plane, train or automobile
How soon can you get here?
