I had enough
Boy you getting right under my skin
When I pull you close you back up
Don't know why you ain't letting me in
Should I stay should I not tell you just what I got
But I know you feel the same
Want you near want you close
I'm still standing alone you keep pushing me away
But I still try
I try try try but I can't get you next to me
I don't wanna wait no more
Every time time time you act like you playing me boy
So tell me baby
What are you waiting for (x3)
Just give me your love
What are you waiting for (x3)
Just give me your love
Why you standing hanging around
Think you know what I want you to do
Turn it up get on it right now
Cos time is counting down for you
Should I stay should I not tell you just what I got
Can't you see what you understand
Want you near want you close
I'm still waiting for you and I know you feel the same
I try try try but I can't get you next to me
I don't wanna wait no more
Every time time time you act like you playing me boy

Get it together get your foot off the brake
I'm not running after you not running after you
I try try try but I can't get you next to me

Every time time time you act like you playing me boy
