Wait, wait
I never had a chance to love you
Now I only want to say I love you one more time
Wait, just a moment before our love will die
'Cause I must know the reason why we say goodbye
Wait, just a moment and tell me why
'Cause I can show you lovin' that you won't deny
I said wait, and show your lovin' like it was before
'Cause I won't let that feelin' walk out through the door
I said wait, just a moment and try once more
'Cause babe, I need to hold you like I did before
So if you go away, I know that I will follow
'Cause there's a place inside my heart that tells me
Hold out, hold out, hold out, oh baby
Wait, wait
I never had a chance to love you
Wait, wait
If only our love could show you
Wait, wait
I never want to be without you
Wait, wait
No, I never had a chance to love you
Now I only want to say I love you one more time
So if you go away, I know that I will follow
'Cause there's a place inside my heart that tells me
Hold out, hold out, hold out, oh baby
Wait, wait
I never had a chance to love you
Wait, wait
If only our love could show you
Wait, wait
I never want to be without you
Wait, wait
No, I never had a chance to love you
Now I only want to say I love you
Baby, I'm begging you, baby
No, I never had a chance to love you
I never had a chance to love you
Now I only want to say I love you one more time
Wait, just a moment before our love will die
'Cause I must know the reason why we say goodbye
Wait, just a moment and tell me why
'Cause I can show you lovin' that you won't deny
I said wait, and show your lovin' like it was before
'Cause I won't let that feelin' walk out through the door
I said wait, just a moment and try once more
'Cause babe, I need to hold you like I did before
So if you go away, I know that I will follow
'Cause there's a place inside my heart that tells me
Hold out, hold out, hold out, oh baby
Wait, wait
I never had a chance to love you
Wait, wait
If only our love could show you
Wait, wait
I never want to be without you
Wait, wait
No, I never had a chance to love you
Now I only want to say I love you one more time
So if you go away, I know that I will follow
'Cause there's a place inside my heart that tells me
Hold out, hold out, hold out, oh baby
Wait, wait
I never had a chance to love you
Wait, wait
If only our love could show you
Wait, wait
I never want to be without you
Wait, wait
No, I never had a chance to love you
Now I only want to say I love you
Baby, I'm begging you, baby
No, I never had a chance to love you

I don't think this song is about groupies or high school relationships. It seems to me that the girlfriend didn't feel cared for and appreciated, so she's getting ready to leave. Meanwhile, the singer feels that he's never really expressed his emotions for the girl, hence the "Wait, I never had a chance to love you." There's a definite wish for closure here, and a realization of what would be missing if the relationship ended.
