I can't wait, I love you

I can't wait, I can't wait

Sometime she talks to him
Sometimes when she's only dreaming
Then when she wakes up
Somehow she still believes him

Yes, I know you
Tho we've been out of touch
Yes, I know you
To be continued, it's too much baby

I can't wait, I can't wait
Well, if I'm wasting my time while you make up your mind
Well, I can't wait, I can't wait
And I've got to know when I can see you again, well
I can't wait, I can't wait
Yes, I know you
Tho we've been out of touch
I can't wait, I can't wait (I can't wait)
What can I do when I'm crazy for you

She wonders how many more hours
Her heart will feel broken
In secret she says she needs to see him
But no words are spoken

Well, she dances around in a circle
Well, she's got that feeling now
Blame it on something at first sight
Put the blame on me, if you want to
To be continued

I can't wait, I can't wait
If I'm wasting my time while you make up your mind, baby
I can't wait I can't wait
And I got to know when I can see you again, now
I can't wait I can't wait (I can't wait)
What can I do when I'm crazy for you, baby
I can't wait, I can't wait (I can't wait)
You know, I'm waiting you, darling, I'm waiting you, darling

I can't wait, I can't wait
If I'm wasting my time while you make up your mind, baby
I can't wait, I can't wait
And I've got to know when I can see you again, well
I can't wait, I can't wait, now
No, no, time will, make up your mind, baby
I can't wait, I can't wait (I can't wait)
