Ah
There's something on my back
That I need to get off baby
The world's been nuts
Just the other day
I had to reprimand a grown up
Who am I to act this way
But sugar I'm the boss lady
Busy handling and managing
But oh
When I get next to you, baby (hey)
Ain't nobody gonna be there
But me and you, you, you, you
I can't wait baby
(Can't wait to be loved by you)
I've been working so hard and so long
(Can't wait to be loved by you)
I need to come home I do, I do
(Can't wait to be loved by you)
I do
I've been going through something's
Feeling all kinds of hectic in my space
We all running the same race
Just to pay some bills
Staring monsters in their face (with grace)
You'd be so proud
Money made, bills to be paid
Like each and everybody
But baby I need
And I need you
Ooh
When I get next to you baby
Ain't nobody gonna be there but me and
You, you, you
I can't wait baby (baby)
(Can't wait to be loved by you)
I've been working so hard and so long
(Can't wait to be loved by you)
I need your arms I do, I do
(Can't wait to be loved by you)
Come to me soon (hee)
What you want to get off
You can get it off right here
Baby no fear
Let all that old thing go
Don't worry 'bout it, no more
Got you baby no
I got you right here
Deep in the bedroom
I got you baby
Or maybe in the back of a car
What up
What up baby
What's up
What you wanna get off
You can get it off right here
Baby no fear
Let all that old thing go
Don't worry 'bout it no more (worry no more)
Got you baby
I got you right here
Got you right here
When I get next to you baby
Ain't nobody gonna be here but me and
You
Can't wait to be loved by you
I can't wait baby
Can't wait to be loved by you
I'm busy holding the world on my shoulders
Can't wait to be loved by you
And baby, I know you're out there
Can't wait to be loved by you
Doing what you need to do too
Dooh, dooh, ooh
