Lyrics
WAITING
Andrea Lin Jones- Lyrics
Andre Lamb-Music
CHORUS
I have been waiting patiently
Said you needed some time apart
To figure out if I am the one for you
So I'll give you room but don't take too long
Or I might be gone
VERSE 1
Said you needed time away from us
You weren't sure how long it would be
Said you needed time to clear your mind
and find yourself
Said you loved me but you felt so confused so...
CHORUS
I have been waiting patiently
Said you needed some time apart
To figure out if I am the one for you
So I'll give you room but don't take too long
Or I might be gone
VERSE 2
Ain't gon' lie it hurt me so deeply
To know that you were having second thoughts
All those times we talked about building a life together
And now it seems those plans may have to change but
I have been waiting patiently
Said you needed some time apart
To figure out if I am the one for you
So I'll give you room but don't take too long
Or I might be gone
BRIDGE
How long do you expect me to wait?
Baby tell me the decision you've made
Thought I was your one and only
Don't know how long I can stand being lonely
CHORUS
I have been waiting patiently
Said you needed some time apart
To figure out if am the one for you
So I'll give you room but don't take too long
Or I might be gone
AD LIBS OUT
I need to know
How much time do you need?
I'm beginning to wonder if you really and truly love me
I can't wait around
NO no no no no no no
I gave you room
Don't you take too long or I might be gone
