[Intro]

I can't help but wait...

Oh I, can't help but wait...

Check it out

[Verse 1]

I see you, you're with him - he ain't right but you don't trip

You stand by, while he lies - then turn right 'round and forgive

I can't take to see your face, with those tears run down your cheeks

But what can I do - I gotta stay true

'cause deep down I'm still a g

[Bridge]

And I don't wanna come between you and your man

Even though I know I treat you better than he can

[Hook]

Girl I can't help but wait

Til' you get that with him, it don't change

Can't help but wait

Til' you see that wit me it ain't the same

Can't help but wait

Til' you, see you, for what you really are

Baby girl you are a star

And I can't help but wait

[Verse 2]

Listen, it ain't fresh to just let him call the shots

You're a queen, you should be, getting all that someone's got

You should be rocking the latest in purses, bracelets, and watches, your worth

Much more than an occasional "I love you"

I'm thinking of you

[Bridge]

[Hook]

[Brakedown]

Get it together - you can do better

Seeing's believing

And I see what you need so

I'm gone play my position

Let you catch what you've been missing

I'm calling out, girl 'cause I can't help but wait

[Hook 2x]

[Outro]

Oh - can't help but wait, babe

No-no-no-no-no-no

I can't help but wait

Oh-oh-oh, can't help but wait

No, no, no
