        Wait
        (disgrace)
        I know I shouldn't, but please wait
        (such a pretty face)
        I know the time is getting late
        (and it was such a waste)
        and he is lost who hesitates
        (of such a pretty face)
        But still I really wish that you'd wait
        (and it was such a waste)
        although this passion might abate
        (of such a pretty face)
        And find you in another state
        (it was such a disgrace)
        that will see this as some mistake
        (it was such a waste)
        Oh babe, I really think you oughta wait
        (of such a pretty face)

        Wait
        (it was such a waste)
        I really wouldn't want your hate
        (of such a pretty face)
        Certainly not at this late date
        (and it was such a waste)
        you wanna give not only take
        (of such a pretty face)
        I know propriety is such a weight
        (it was such a disgrace)
        but then it makes no sense to wait
        (such a pretty face)
        Considering the present state
        (and it was such a waste)
        don't change my mind at this late date
        (.......... such a waste)
        Oh baby, don't you think we oughta wait
        (of such a pretty face)

        (Ooohhh ...)
        (Ooohhh ...)
        (Ooohhh ...)
        (Ooohhh ...)

        Wait
        oh now baby, how I wish you would wait
        I really wish you'd hesitate
        oh baby baby, please why don't you wait
        Oh, how I really wish that you would wait
        oh, how I wish you'd hesitate
        But ................ wait
        baby, how I wish you would wait
        Don't you ..........
        I really wouldn't want get your hate
        But someone who ..........
        I really really wish you would wait
        Oh baby baby baby, please wait

        (Well I met him on a Sunday)

I was looking at 'Wait.'
You have the song fading out to the lyric '...someday'.
I think it's the backing singers coming in with a line
from an old doowop song ending in ...
I met him on a sunday.
So...sunday instead of someday...?
