The O'Jays

The O'Jays are an American R&B group from Canton, Ohio, formed in 1958 and originally consisting of Eddie Levert (born June 16, 1942), Walter Williams (born August 25, 1943), William Powell (January 20, 1942 – May 26, 1977), Bobby Massey and Bill Isles.

Well, well, well, well
Oh, baby, yeah, oh, baby, yeah

What am I waiting for
Well, she ain't comin' back no more
What am I waiting for
I know, she ain't comin' back no more, no more

I'm about to lose my mind
I been waiting such a long, long time
As I stare out the window with the tears on my face
Will there ever be a lover, to take my woman's place?

What am I waiting for
(Waiting, waiting)
She ain't comin' back no more
(I'll be waiting)

What am I waiting for
She ain't comin' back no more
(No no, no no, no no no)

Sitting in this house alone
Reading the note that say's you're leaving home
Well, well, the only thing you left me was the dog and the cat
When I looked in the bedroom I knew she wasn't coming back

What am I waiting for
(Waiting, waiting and I know)
She ain't comin' back no more
(Somehow I don't believe)

What am I waiting for
(Baby, baby, no)
She ain't comin' back no more
(And I cry late at night, I cry)

I cry
(She ain't comin' back no more)
Baby, I just don't wanna believe
I don't wanna believe
(She ain't comin' back no more)

Well, well, ain't nothing here
(She ain't comin' back no more)
Don't tell nothing here
But dog and the cat, the fork and the spoon
Is lonely there

I can feel it, I can feel it and I cry
I cry, girl, girl, girl
(She ain't comin' back no more)
Girl, girl, girl, no
