“You can’t get it back when you give yourself away.” This is such a beautiful song. Any girl listening who is sad because she DIDN’T wait... I want you to know that you are NOT ruined. There is always forgiveness and second chances because of Jesus Christ. You can start over today, right now, because of Him... and I mean that with all my heart. ❤️
As the daddy of three lovely daughters, and as the priest of my home trying to keep the devil outside the door, I really, REALLY love this message. I just discovered Abby's music and am so blessed to share this with my family. Thank you, Abby!
The subject of this song is so subtle that it can be interpreted as anything that’s going on in your head. Waiting for marriage is something that has been on my mind a lot recently. I’m a teenage girl who is feeling the pressures of society to give it away. But I know God’s got something better I’m store for me if I just wait. Thank you for writing and preforming this beautiful song. It really spoke to me. God is and will continue to use you in ways you can’t even imagine.
Ah, Sweetheart. You are precious!! Never give yourself away - society is WRONG. A quality man will not press you to do so. Make him wait. If he waits, he's worth it. If he won't wait, he's not worth your time anyway, so bid him good-bye. YOU are worth it! Your future peace and happiness are worth it!!
Baby girl, it's so worth it! Society is wrong like the other comment said. I'm almost 30 and I wish so badly I had done it differently, God blessed me and found me a few years ago... but had I known him and followed him in my teens I can't imagine how beautiful life would've been. I would've missed out, but it's missing out on all of the ugly nights and regrets, because life has soooo much to give besides just what everyone focuses on now.
Like they said, society is pretty much fucked up. If you wait you will see it was the right decision. If you won't wait you will regret it somedays. Do what ever you feel it is right to do. Never ever put yourself under pressure because of society because you can never make it right to everybody so at least you have to do it right for yourself. Sry if my english is not that good but I am not a native speaker and I am ill too so.my brain is running on slowmotion right know. 😅
This song is beautiful. Unfortunately my fiancé and I didn't wait and this song makes me realize that I should have made him wait. Does that mean he isn't a real gentleman? No, it doesn't. Does that make me 'easy'? Of course not. We all have faults and flaws. God did not make us perfect. We all fall short of the glory of God but that doesn't mean that we can't ask for forgiveness and I believe that since I have asked for forgiveness from God I've been forgiven and I have decided to make my amazing fiancé wait until our wedding night.
I didn't wait until marriage either. But my husband never pushed me for sex when we were dating. like ALL other men in my life did. Our first time happened on my time clock and I think he would have waited longer.i think it's most important that we are with someone who loves us completely and treats a good woman the way she deserves. And if you're going to have sex, do it for love !!!
One of the many things I like about this is that it's not another hookup song or a public roasting of the last guy. Hard to find great and original themes these days. Congrats on a cool, strong video and a wonderfully refreshing song Abby!
I'm glad my husband and I waited. Now I can imagine myself playing the guitar singing this song to my daughters at bedtime. We're still waiting to have children.
Such a beautiful song and beautiful message. My wife lived these words, made me wait, and I am certain it is the reason why I knew, and know, that she was and is the right one for me.
I cry everytime I hear this song My daughter was in a bad relationship when this song came out I would hear her listen to it. I felt in my heart she was in a bad relationship so as I would cry alone I reminded her of this song. Well she listened and broke up with her boyfriend and she now has found the right one.
in a time of hook up culture and divorce, that we live in now, this song is much needed as a reminder to cherish yourself, if you want a real man to cherish you. That’s the era I grew up in (‘80s), where men still court the ladies. I wish for that kind of love and courtship to make a come back. I’m still married to the man who courted me then. Thank you Abby!
I am a dad of 4 very buetifull girls. I have to say I am going to play this song for them. It is a great song and she is right a real man will stick around we are few and far between any more. As well as great women.
Simps wait. real men never give their power to a woman. Waiting signals you are weak. ...She will control you for the rest your life, not respect you; and then when she gets bored with you - cheat with Tyrone or Chad!
My beautiful daughter introduced me to this amazing song two days ago and I have played it on repeat ever since! I get goosebumps every single time I listen to it. Ever girl AND guy needs to hear this. ❤️❤️
this song ahs actually taught me so much. its so tempting to want to answer that phone immediately but tis better to take a second to recognize your self worth and make HIM wait instead of you. cuz thats how youll know how much he really cares
I’ve suffered a lot of sexual abuse in my life followed by substance abuse and promiscuity and this song means so much to me in my healing journey. Makes me cry every time 🥲 ♥️
Reminds me of my bff...she endured heartbreak after heartbreak and thought she'd never find love...she did last November and they've been together ever since💞. Ladies if you think you'll never find love, wait and the right guy will come to you!!
This is so incredibly beautiful, Abby!!! Your music is so real and so fun, and I'm so happy I happened to stumble upon your videos - don't stop, being yourself or creating music. God's given you a great talent and a sweet heart to share such important messages with the world!!
[Verse 1] When he calls you You don't have to answer right away Make him wait And when he small talks Before he asks you on a date Make him wait When his Pontiac's in the driveway And his eyes are midnight blue Take a deep breath Do the opposite of what you wanna do [Chorus] Make him wait By the phone At the door to meet your dad Before the first kiss, he's gotta hold your hand You can't get it back when you give yourself away A boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay Girl, make him wait Make him wait [Verse 2] When he says that It'd be easier if you just stay the night Make him wait You're gonna wanna And you're thinkin you just might But make him wait [Chorus] Make him wait By the phone At the door to meet your dad Before the first kiss, he's gotta hold your hand You can't get it back when you give yourself away A boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay Girl, make him wait Make him wait [Bridge] They told me love is worth the weight in gold Like that ring on your hand So when you find the one The staying kind Then he won't mind [Chorus 2] If you make him wait In his tux Cello sings you down the aisle Walk slow, take your time While your daddy cries and your mama smiles When they're throwin rice into the air And those tin cans roll away And you look into his eyes And realize it was worth the while To make him wait Make him wait
Ms Anderson, the wife and I saw you at the Chateau June 13th with Rob Thomas. We completely enjoyed your set. Well done and hope you have all the success in the world coming your way.
I hear this song reminds me of someone. He always yelled why I was late. He was so kind and patient and beautiful. Sometimes your own walls can chase people away. That was a real regret I had.
You are incredibly beautiful. One of the prettiest girls I’ve ever seen. Such a beautiful song and powerful message. For any age, especially when you’re young. Beautiful voice, personality, energy, dress, girl. love this song!!
Men will make you wait too. I’ve waited 8 years for a man I’ve never even got to meet. If that’s not true love idk what is. Other than maybe stupidity. But he’s THE ONE. And he’s WORTH IT. ALL of it. He’s the ONLY man that will ever be worth it. I love you my B. Forever no matter what. 💔🚂✈️🙏🏼😢 I miss you so. 🥺 if you do get a man like that don’t make them wait. You’re wasting precious time waiting.
As a Man, I can tell you women this. Every man wants to think he's the special one for to you, regardless of all the other men you have been with, the more you like him, the more you should make him wait. I am not saying try to run him off, but saying no makes him think you have never given it away. If you want it to last listen to her, and make him feel like he's the only one, note never tell him about the others, if he didn't think you're special he wouldn't be there, some things should be kept hidden, and don't ask hm about the others he's had, no good comes from such truths, not until your 50 years in..
Well that was a breath of fresh air in a society so obsessed with no strings attached sex. My hubby waited for me until our wedding day and and I waited for him. It's hard at times but worth the wait.
I have half a mind to write this... but here goes... The song hurts deep and in a way i didn't expect. Every time i heard "make him wait" it reminds me of slow replies and ignoring calls. And as a person i don't wanna go through the pain of "waiting" when i need the person. As much as I'm ready to wait it hurts. And if u think making a guy wait is enough "proof", you'll never get him as much as u could have. Much as 'waiting' would make 'us' a 'gentleman'. Its also ..ig ethics? heart?idk but i feel its also on you to 'not' make us wait 'too long' or in the other case 'dump' the one whom u've "asked" to wait
I really love this song so much... I mean, from the bottom of my heart!! You said it just right. The message in the music is worth hearing. Every time I listened to this song i'm inspired; glad to know i'm not alone... thanks so much Abby!!
i'm glad that i getting to know this song quick enough for my age (20 years old) and when i have a daughter one day i'll definitely make sure she listens to this song because i don't want her to fall for wrong "boys".
Thank you so much Abby! I can really relate to this! and as I was just thinking I wasn't pretty enough because I wasn't the typical beauty I saw you and I have the same features as you. it made me embrace me. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!
Delight yourself in the Lord 📖 and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4 We must be willing to turn from sin to receive Jesus forgiveness , and to know and live out his teachings. He who does the will of God 📖 abides for eternity 1 John 2:17 NKJV 🙂
My first real girlfriend, I dated for a year and didn't go all the way before we broke up because our families moved 1000 miles apart. Today, 35 years later, I am talking to her, and I'm in love ❤️ just the same as the day we last saw each other.

Yessssss... I came here for this comment alone. Thank you.

But you have to mean it! I have accepted and forgiven only to be betrayed.
Thank you for this advice❤

First thing you need to know b4 dating my daughter. #1 : I don't like you ;-)
"A boy's gonna run, but a real man's gonna stay." So true!!! Waiting on God's timing, waiting for a of God is so important and so worth it!

Why is this not at the top of the music charts?
I'm so glad I found a guy who is waiting for me. Thank You, Jesus for blessing me with the man of my absolute dreams.

U go girl! It’s never to late to get right with god and do the right thing❤️

God made Abby just to hear her beautiful voice. Just found this...WOW!!!
Everything about this song is beautiful. Her voice, the lyrics and her.
One of the many things I like about this is that it's not another hookup song or a public roasting of the last guy. Hard to find great and original themes these days. Congrats on a cool, strong video and a wonderfully refreshing song Abby!
Exactly what I was thinking. This song goes against what the majority of songs in pop music nowadays are about.
"You can't get it back when you give yourself away". I felt that 😭
I'm glad my husband and I waited. Now I can imagine myself playing the guitar singing this song to my daughters at bedtime. We're still waiting to have children.
Crying because this song is so beautiful. I wish i was told this so much more as a teen.
I don't have a daughter but i do have 11 nieces. I hope everyone of them listen to this song. Great song
Such a beautiful song and beautiful message. My wife lived these words, made me wait, and I am certain it is the reason why I knew, and know, that she was and is the right one for me.
Making him wait is my plan. May God help me.

This young lady is talented and she has looks that could melt a mans heart. Combined makes her a winner. She has a new fan here.
😍 I would wait a lifetime for Abby Anderson.
Simps wait. real men never give their power to a woman. Waiting signals you are weak. ...She will control you for the rest your life, not respect you; and then when she gets bored with you - cheat with Tyrone or Chad!
This song has been so inspiring for me. ❤️ It’s so true! Gentleman wait, and they’re so worth it
Amen!! Never settle for less
This is not what I expected from this song, but I'm showing it to my daughter as soon as she gets home ❤ thank you for this gem
She has such a gorgeous voice, and this song is so so true and beautiful!!❤
My beautiful daughter introduced me to this amazing song two days ago and I have played it on repeat ever since! I get goosebumps every single time I listen to it. Ever girl AND guy needs to hear this. ❤️❤️
so lovely, wish i had lived by this... if i had any kids i'd be playing this for them...
Wow. Those are some refreshing lyrics. Great work!!
this song ahs actually taught me so much. its so tempting to want to answer that phone immediately but tis better to take a second to recognize your self worth and make HIM wait instead of you. cuz thats how youll know how much he really cares
This is why yall stay single. We don't wait forever.
Playing this for my daughters
I’ve suffered a lot of sexual abuse in my life followed by substance abuse and promiscuity and this song means so much to me in my healing journey. Makes me cry every time 🥲 ♥️
Praying for you!❤
I am sorry 🙏
the song has nothing to do with those unfortuneate assaults
Head up!!! God loves you !!!
This song makes me cry..but its only facts... They should wait till we're ready...😊🔐
I keep listening this song every day before i go for our date and it helps me alot, thank you God bless🌷
Always saw this song as a Christian song to encourage girls 💕
Reminds me of my bff...she endured heartbreak after heartbreak and thought she'd never find love...she did last November and they've been together ever since💞. Ladies if you think you'll never find love, wait and the right guy will come to you!!
Sounds like a relatively young relationship. They're still more likely to breakup than to remain together for the long run.
This is so incredibly beautiful, Abby!!! Your music is so real and so fun, and I'm so happy I happened to stumble upon your videos - don't stop, being yourself or creating music. God's given you a great talent and a sweet heart to share such important messages with the world!!
This was my babysitter when I was a baby!!! No joke!!
Wow. This song just spoke to my soul. So glad I switched to the country radio station on my way home!
this is my favorite song. I've played it like 7 times in a row.
Such a good message glad someone put this out there for young women and men thank you
More young women should heed these lyrics.
[Verse 1]
When he calls you
You don't have to answer right away
Make him wait
And when he small talks
Before he asks you on a date
Make him wait
When his Pontiac's in the driveway
And his eyes are midnight blue
Take a deep breath
Do the opposite of what you wanna do
[Chorus]
Make him wait
By the phone
At the door to meet your dad
Before the first kiss, he's gotta hold your hand
You can't get it back when you give yourself away
A boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay
Girl, make him wait
Make him wait
[Verse 2]
When he says that
It'd be easier if you just stay the night
Make him wait
You're gonna wanna
And you're thinkin you just might
But make him wait
[Chorus]
Make him wait
By the phone
At the door to meet your dad
Before the first kiss, he's gotta hold your hand
You can't get it back when you give yourself away
A boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay
Girl, make him wait
Make him wait
[Bridge]
They told me love is worth the weight in gold
Like that ring on your hand
So when you find the one
The staying kind
Then he won't mind
[Chorus 2]
If you make him wait
In his tux
Cello sings you down the aisle
Walk slow, take your time
While your daddy cries and your mama smiles
When they're throwin rice into the air
And those tin cans roll away
And you look into his eyes
And realize it was worth the while
To make him wait
Make him wait

I just found this song and I have listen to repeatedly and non-stop
I listen to this song before I go to school and before the pressure of society sinks in
The best things are always worth waiting for. And this was truly worth the wait.

How do u find a man like that 😩
Waiting is a 2 person team work situation
