There's this guy that's on my mind 
He tells me I'm the one and calls me all the time 
Should I see him, do you think he's right 
Coz he's the one whose caught my eye 

I tell you girl I've heard this all before 
He ain't the kind of guy that you've been searching for 
Look around you there's so much more 
Coz he's the one you should ignore 

Baby let me tell you how I feel 
Know you've heard a lot of things, but I'm for real 
I realize I have myself to blame 
Forget my past I'm not the same 

So why the wait, I ain't mad with you baby 
Yeah but why the wait, I'm just telling you maybe 
Oh so why the wait, I ain't mad at you baby 
I'm thinking it over

It's been a while since I felt so sure 
I've played around but I want something more 
Not gonna pressure you to let me know 
But give me the chance to prov you wrong 

Honey I'm feeling so confused 
Don't want to play a game I know I'm gonna lose 
I need some time so I can think things through 
But not tonight, not with you 

(chorus) 

I can't stand the wait, I ain't mad, no 
I can't stand the wait, I ain't mad, no 
I can't stand the wait 
I'm thinking it over 

(outro chorus)

The group went on to achieve ten consecutive UK Top 20 singles, and various charting singles worldwide, leading to greater commercial success than the winners of the 2001 series, Hear'Say. Liberty X disbanded in early 2007, but re-formed a year later in 2008, for a one-off appearance in Belfast, performing their greatest hits. more »
