Betty and Johnny They thought they were in love Holding hands after shcool But soon that wasn't enough You know they lost all self-control And romance turned to sin Now thye just cry and wonder why They can't start over again I don't wanna go through that pain There has got to be a better way (chorus) I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait Not gonna throw it all away I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait Not gonne throw it all away I'm gonna wait Me and all my friends Love to go to summer church camp Sayin' hello to nature And good-bye to mom and dad Well the boys and girls started pairing up And going out in the woods This girl I know, she just looked at me And wondered if we should It's not worth it to me To give up my purity (chorus) Well I talked with my youth leader 'Cause I knew he'd shoot me straight He said believe me when I tell you, son It's more than worth the wait (chorus)
