Wait

I'm not telling you to wait, ah

I'm not telling you to wait on me, no

I'm not telling you to wait

But I'm hoping that you'll wait

I know this may not be my place

But I got something I should say to you

Sometimes I'm in a different space

But that don't change the way I feel for you (I do)

This may not be the best time

I got a lot going inside my mind

Don't think for a minute that I'm a fool

Don't know what I'll do if I lose you

You need someone who will be there to hold you

I can't even say that it's fair, but I do

Hope you know I'll always be here if you need me

What I gotta say isn't easy

If you gotta leave

Girl, I won't stop you, so do what you gotta do

I don't want you to go

But I got a few things in life that I gotta do

I'm not telling you to wait (I'm not)

I'm not telling you to wait on me (I'm not)

I'm not telling you to wait (I'm not)

I'm not telling you to wait on me (I'm not)

But I'm hoping that you'll wait

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

I told you when I met you, girl, that I would need patience

You said that you understood so I thought that you could take it

We have a real good thing

Nothing should come between us

Now you want some things I never promised

You say something missing, I was always honest

Telling you the way that I felt for you

Could be something real that I never knew

You need someone who will be there to hold you

I can't even say that it's fair, but I do

Hope you know I'll always be here if you need me

What I gotta say isn't easy

If you gotta leave (If you gotta go)

Girl, I won't stop you, so do what you gotta do

I don't want you to go

But I got a few things in life that I gotta do

I'm not telling you to wait (I'm not)

I'm not telling you to wait on me (I'm not)

I'm not telling you to wait (I'm not)

I'm not telling you to wait on me

But I'm hoping that you'll wait

But I'm hoping that you'll wait

But I'm hoping that you'll wait

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
