Cover art for Wait lyrics by White Lion

Actually a correction on my comment, I meant to post the following...

Boy meets girl, Boy and girl fall in love, Boy and girl have fight Girl leaves boy for good Boy begs her to stay Girl wants nothing to do with boy, Boy gets pissed and says "wait just a minute!" Girl doesn't give him a chance Boy has broken heart

He tries to save the relationship and uses the "I never had a chance to love you" line. Meaning he was stupid for never showing his true colors. Now that she's leaving, he sees the mistake he made with her.

Sorry about that, folks!
