WAIT WAIT WAIT Lyrics by John Michael Howell

2024

[Refrain]
You can shoot your shot, baby, go crazy
Just don't go around saying that I led you on
I did nothin' wrong
So don't take offense for the fence that I've been sittin' on

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna treat you right, but my mind's sayin'
Maybe one day when we're eighty, we won't get along
So I just stall, but I ain't a villain
For simply not gettin' involved
Oh-oh-oh-oh, i think you should know

[Chorus]
I'm tryin' not to hurt you
But you're makin' it hard on me
You're waitin' on the first move
But you gon' have to wait, wait, wait
'Cause I'm tryin' not to hurt you
I'm tryna let you down easily
You're still waitin' on the first move
But you gon' have to wait, wait, wait
You gon' have to wait for me (Wait for me)

[Verse]
You a stunner (Stunner), stunner (Stunner), stunner (Stunner)
But you want it fast (Fast)
I want somethin' that will last
Forever (Ever), ever (Ever), ever (Ever)
To stop in your tracks (Tracks)
This a marathon, not a dash

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that you hate it, baby
But I think my mind is changin', and it's movin' on
I know I stall, but I ain't a villain
For simply not givin' my all

[Chorus]
I'm tryin' not to hurt you (Hurt you)
But you're makin' it hard on me
You're waitin' on the first move
But you gon' have to wait, wait, wait
'Cause I'm tryin' not to hurt you
I'm tryna let you down easily
You're still waitin' on the first move
But you gon' have to wait, wait, wait
You gon' have to wait for me (Wait for me)

[Post-Chorus]
Wait, wait
You gon' have to—
You gon' have to wait for me
Wait for me

[Refrain]
You can shoot your shot, baby, go crazy
Just don't go around saying that I led you on
I did nothin' wrong
So don't take offense for the fence that I've been sittin' on
