Listen…

[Verse 1:]
It was just infatuation (yeah)
And I know I should've said so (oooh)
'cause you gave up your relations (yeah)
So that you could have me for yours

[Pre-Chorus:]
Boo, after quite some time
You got restless babe
Said you wanted more, from me (lemme talk about it)
I didn't know what to do
I just turned away
When you looked me in the eyes and say…

[Chorus:]
This is crazy!
I shouldn't have to wait (that's what you told me)
I shouldn't have to wait for you
I shouldn't have to wait for your love… (no, no, no)
Baby save it!
I shouldn't have to wait
I shouldn't have to wait for you
I shouldn't have to wait for your love…

[Verse 2:]
Uh…
Couldn't see what I was losing (yeah)
When I said I couldn't stay, that night (uh)
And it must have been confusing (yeah)
Can imagine what was on your mind
When you begin to cry

[Pre-Chorus:]
Boo, after quite some time
You got restless babe
Said you wanted more, from me (aaand)
I didn't know what to do (do)
I just looked away (I looked away…)
When you turned to me and you said you're sick of waiting

[Chorus:]
This is crazy!
I shouldn't have to wait (baby)
I shouldn't have to wait for you (I shouldn't have to wait for you)
I shouldn't have to wait for your love… (lo–lo–love)
Baby save it! (baby)
I shouldn't have to wait (I shouldn't have to wait)
I shouldn't have to wait for you (shouldn't have to wait for your love)
I shouldn't have to wait for your love… (lo–lo–love)

(Woo!)

[Bridge:]
Oooo, I'm not tryna' be tough
I know what you need
And I know I'm not the one
Baby trust me (I know I'm not thaaa one)
To take good care of you
(I know) it's gotta be rough
Said, I know it tears you up inside
Knowing I can't
Give you what you need
And I know its craaaazy…

[Chorus: w/ ad-libs]
This is crazy!
I shouldn't have to wait (no I shouldn't have to wait)
I shouldn't have to wait for you (baby)
I shouldn't have to wait for your love…
(shouldn't have to wait for love, yeah)
Baby save it!
I shouldn't have to wait (oh, yeaaah)
I shouldn't have to wait for you (for your loooove)
I shouldn't have to wait for your love…
(I don't wanna wait for your love)

This is crazy!
I shouldn't have to wait (no baaaby)
I shouldn't have to wait for you (tell me why you make me wait)
I shouldn't have to wait for your love… (I don't wanna wait for you)
Baby save it!
I shouldn't have to wait
I shouldn't have to wait for you (for your love bae
I shouldn't have to wait for your love…
(I shouldn't have to wait, no, no, no)
