Lyrics
This is dedicated to the lover (To the lover...)
In you, in you, in you...
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no, I can't wait
Leather in the summer, silk in the winter
This is such an art, where do I begin-a?
Used to sing tenor, in the church choir
Really I was flexin', but the girls they were fire
I'm the type of guy that notice subtle signs
When I cuddle mine, she ain't even tryin'
To look sexy, but even if she was, so what?
Motherfucker, grow up, don't mean to be so abrupt
But that let's me–know that she's a human being
And being human's hard—on the boulevard
Girl, you got it bad, glad I'm not one
But yet, you got it good, you are the hot one
But I'm André, Benjamin André to be exact
You'd hope to meet a gentleman one day, well, this is that
In fact, Dookie introduced us at a show, about a year or so ago
I don't know, mind slips me
I'm in the Southern states, you know, where all the pimps be
Dressin' all boogey and carryin' ugly cups
And yes, you're getting booed if your shit do not get down
And yes, you're getting sued by women who didn't get up
Out their seat on the bus, and feet shouldn't rust
And beat is a must, and we shouldn't lust
But we do; I'm laughin' at the calendars and clocks
Ascot to match the socks, what's in your 'Speakerboxxx'?
"Pink and Blue"; you're lollygaggin', you're slow-pokin'
You got me open, you're playin' wit' me, darlin' I'm not a toy
As if Anita Baker brings the joy
Your kind are the Tyner, meanin' the real McCoy
I can't wait...
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no, I can't wait
Ooh, baby, come home, got plans tonight
(Plans tonight, plans tonight, plans tonight, plans tonight)
Whoo! Anticipatin' – the lovin' I'm gon' get in
'Til the mornin' light
(Mornin' light, mornin' light, mornin' light, mornin' light)
Come on, baby
I can't wait (The way you love me)
I can't wait (The way you touch me)
I can't wait (I can feel it)
I can't wait (All over me)
I can't wait (Come on, baby)
I can't wait (Please, come home...)
I can't wait (Tonight)
I can't wait (Whoo!)
For your time, you're so fine
You're always on my mind
'Cause baby I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no, I can't wait
I'm so glad I found ya
I just wanna be around ya
'Cause I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no, I can't wait
Ooh, it's been too long now, baby
Let's seize the night
(Seize the night, seize the night, seize the night, seize the night)
Ooh! 'Cause I'm gonna take you on a journey
Enjoy the ride
(Enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride)
Enjoy the ride
(Up and down) Ooh, baby!
(Up and down) Whoo, lady!
(Round and round) Take it
(Round and round) Whoo!
For your time, you're so fine
You're always on my mind
'Cause baby I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no, I can't wait
I'm so glad I found ya
I just wanna be around ya
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no, I can't wait
This is dedicated to the lover (To the lover)
In you, in you, in you
This is dedicated to the lover (To the lover)
In you, in you, in you
Sir Lucious is the real deal, but even he gets antsy
Some honeys try to 'Kill Bill' beneath the underpants, see
But patience is a virtue, being anxious just might hurt you
Like Mike Vick returning to the line of scrimmage too soon
A line of **** tryin' to get in visits on a full moon
Should I play it cool, or be the one to make the first move?
Anticipatin', and contemplatin' – she got you sprung, dude
"Shit, I'm finna get her, might e'en hit her, what you gon' do?" (What?)
I tell you what, we won't be fallin' for that one-two
Just kinky sex up off in the Boom Boom if she want to
And if she don't, then I'll dial another date
That means find another face, to replace, 'cause I can't wait
This is dedicated to the lover (To the lover...)
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no, I can't wait
In you, in you, in you...
This is dedicated to the lover (To the lover...)
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, no, I can't wait
In you, in you, in you...
