Woo, yeah yeah
Ooh, baby
Woo

Now, ever since the day I saw you,
There was one thing that I knew for sure
That was you was gonna be my lady
When I didn't know, yeah yeah
Now, you was on the arm of someone,
Annoyingly it wasn't me
I knew I'd have to pick my battles
To gain my victory

Oh, yeah
That's why I, I, I've waited for so long
I've waited, waited there
Just hoping you'd see, oh hoping
That one something you searched for
That something was me
Something you searched for was me yeah

It's funny how I came to love
Before I even knew your name, yeah
And it's funny how that dude neglects you
While I got this flame, oh
This burning flame
Now, can't nobody see the future
I sure can't see my future without you,
It's so much love I just can't wait to show you,
I I I'm just waitin' on you, oh oh
Waitin' baby

I've waited for so long
Kept praying you'd see
That one someone you've searched for
Was someone like me
I've waited for so long
I've waited, waited there
Just hoping to see, oh hoping
That one something you searched for
That one something was me

I've been waitin'

I've got a house, straight up the magazine
Only thing that's missing, need a queen
I got a pile to break, girl I better spend on you
Just pack your s*** girl, and move on in

I've waited for so long
Kept praying you'd see
That one someone you've searched for
Was someone like me
Can it, can it be me
I've waited for so long
I've waited, waited
Kept praying you'd see
That one something you searched for
Was something like me

Yeah baby, you got me over here
Praying and hopin'
(Waitin' waitin' waitin')
(Waitin' waitin' waitin')
(Waitin')
You're what's missing in my life
I'm not gonna give up this fight, no
(Waitin' waitin', waitin')

I've been 'round enough to know
I got what you've been searching for girl
(Waitin' waitin' waitin')
Until you see, how perfect together we be, girl
(Waitin' waitin' waitin' waitin')
I'm right here, I'm right here girl
(Waitin' waitin' waitin' waitin')
(Waitin' waitin' waitin' waitin')
Waitin' for you
(Waitin' waitin' waitin' waitin')
