I can't help but wait
Oh I, can't help but wait
Check it out
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
And I don't wanna come between you and your man
Even though I know I treat you better than he can
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 with 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
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
And I don't wanna come between you and your man
Even though I know I treat you better than he can
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 with 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
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
Til' you get that with him, it don't change
Can't help but wait
Til' you see that with 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
