Waitin’ Lyrics by Banditos

Banditos

2015

Daddy, well I've been waitin'
On that new boy to smile
Every second, anticipation
Heart beats fast just like a child

Surely I've been raised
So I'm waiting for your loving arms around me so tight
And I'll be so surely grateful when you hold me through the night

My momma, well she once told me
Find a man and keep him close
But that man, well he once told me
He'd rather choke than be tied to a woman

So I guess I'll just sit here waitin'
For your smile to turn on the sun
I'd rather be alone in the dark
Then my daddy walk in on someone

[Chorus]
And I say, oh daddy, you got me good
And I say, oh daddy, just like you would
Just hold me a little longer, I'm almost satisfied
Don't go so soon while my tongue is still tied
And I say, oh daddy, well I'm in trouble now that you're gone

So hold me and let us sleep in
Safely through the night
When I wake up, I was just a dreamin'
But the sun is shining bright

So I guess I'm just sitting here waitin'
For your face to shine a grin
Better safe with my daddy
Then some strange man to take me in

[Chorus]

And I say, oh daddy, I'm in trouble now that you're gone
And I say, oh daddy, I'm in trouble now that you're gone
