Contextual Analysis of "good things come to those who wait" in Lyrics

no

i'm not perfect

no

i'm not perfect

i work so hard to earn my place

so made it out

all i need is one chance to make you see

don't you ever be too late for love

but the preacher man told me

do good things come to those who wait?

i don't know how much more of this i can handle

i can't run

girl

and i've been standing here waiting for a mighty long time

and it always seems to me

time is on our side

i think he humped the dog

'cause she laid me

just give me a break

and i've waited a long time

i've heard them before they will never know my feelings for you

i'm here calling your name
