[Intro]
I can’t help but wait
Oh I, can’t help but wait
Check it out
[Verse 1]
I see yCou, you're with Amhim - he ain’t Emright but you don’t trip
You stand Cby, while he lAmies - then turn rEmight 'round and forgive
I can’t tCake to see your fAmace, with those tEmears run down your cheeks
But what can I dCo - I gotta stay tAmrue 'cause deep dEmown I’m still a G
[Bridge] 
And I don’t waFnna come between you and your Emman
Even though I knFow I treat you better than he cBan
[Chorus]
Girl I can’t help but waCit
Til’ you gAmet that with Emhim, it don’t change
Can’t help but wCait
Til’ you Amsee that with Emme it ain’t the same
Can’t help but wCait
Til’ Amyou, see Emyou, for what you really Amare
Baby gAmirl you are a sEmtar
And I can’t help but wCait
[Verse 2]
(Same as verse 1)
Listen, it ain’t fresh to just let him call the shots
You’re a queen, you should be, getting all that someone’s got
You should be rocking the latest in purses, bracelets, and watches, your worth
Much more than an occasional "I love you"
I’m thinking of you
[Bridge]
FGet it together - Emyou can do better
DSeeing’s believing
BAnd I see what you need so
FI’m gone play my position
EmLet you catch what you’ve been missing
DI’m calling out, girl 'cause I can’t help but Cwait
