I can't help but wait I can't help but wait, check it out I see you, you wit 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 wit those tears running down yo cheeks But what can I do, I gotta stay true, because deep down I'm still a G And I don't wanna come between you and your man, Even tho I know I'll treat you better than he can Girl I can't help but wait [Chorus] Till you get back wit him, it don't change (Can't help but wait) Till you see that wit me, it ain't the same (Can't help but wait) Till you, see you, for what you really are (Baby girl you are a star) And I can't help but wait It ain't fresh, to just let him call the shots Your a queen, you should be, getting all that someones got You should be rocking the latest, and purses, bracelets and watches You're 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, no Even tho I know I'll treat you better than he can Girl I cant help but wait [Chorus] Get it together, you can do better Seeing is believing, and I see what you need so I'm gonna play my position, let you catch what you been missing I'm calling out! Girl because I can't help but wait [Chorus: x2] Can't help but wait, can't help but wait, can't help but wait, no, no, no
