Wait Lyrics
Dirty looks from your mother
Never seen you in a dress that color, no
It's a special occasion
Not invited, but I'm glad I made it, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me apologize
I'll make up, make up, make up, make up for all those times (All those times)
Your love, I don't wanna lose
I'm beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', I'm beggin' you
[Chorus]
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here, please? 'Cause I wanna be with you
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, could you come here, please? 'Cause I wanna be with you
[Verse 2]
Can we talk for a moment?
Got these feelings that I'm tired of holdin' on
Wasn't tryna get wasted
I needed more than three or four to say this, oh
Let me apologize, yeah
I'll make up, make up, make up, make up for all those times (All those times)
Your love, I don't wanna lose (Lose)
I'm beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', I'm begging you
[Chorus]
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around? (No)
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out? (Just wait)
Just wait, can you come here, please? 'Cause I wanna be with you
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out? (Just wait)
Just wait, could you come here, please? (Yeah) 'Cause I wanna be with you
[Bridge]
You say I'm just another bad guy
You say I've done a lot of things I can't undo
Before you tell me for the last time, yeah
I'm beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin' you
[Chorus]
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out? (Can we work this out)
Just wait, can you come here, please? 'Cause I wanna be with you (I wanna be with you)
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around? (Yea)
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, could you come here, please? 'Cause I wanna be with you
