Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every woman wants a man
Who can satisfy her desires
But you can't understand
That you got me waiting for your love
And I need to hear the word from you
[Verse 2]
(Tell me what you want me to do) What I wanna do
('Cause, baby, I'm waiting) I'm waiting
(Waiting for an answer from you)
(Tell me what you want me to do) So, won't you tell me
('Cause, baby, I'm waiting) I'm waiting
(Gotta hear a word from you, baby)
[Verse 3]
Baby, I'm not afraid to speak from my heart to you
What I feel is so true
Take me, embrace me
Don't keep me waiting for you
Give me your loving
[Verse 4]
(Tell me what you want me to do) Tell me right now
Baby, baby, ('Cause, baby, I'm waiting) I'm waiting
(Waiting for an answer from you) Just waiting
(Tell me what you want me to do) Oh, won't you tell me
('Cause, baby, I'm waiting) Oh
(Gotta hear a word from you, baby)
[Verse 5]
Gotta tell you how I feel
Love so good, it seems unreal
Really need your love right now
Make it work somehow
So won't you tell me what I gotta do, babe
I really, really need your love
(Tell me what you want me to do)
I can't get enough (Can't get enough of your loving)
Oh (Can't get enough of the things you do)
Oh (Can't get enough of your loving)
(Can't get enough of the things you do)
[Verse 6]
Tell me what you want me to do, baby (Tell me what you want me to do)
('Cause, baby, I'm waiting) I'm waiting
(Waiting for an answer from you) I ain't even heard from you
(Tell me what you want me to do)
('Cause, baby, I'm waiting)
(Gotta hear a word from you, baby)
[Verse 7]
Tell me, boy what you want me to do, 'cause, baby I'm so in love with you
(Tell me what you want me to do)
('Cause, baby, I'm waiting)
(Waiting for an answer from you)
Tell me, boy what you want me to do, 'cause, baby I'm so in love with you
(Tell me what you want me to do)
('Cause, baby, I'm waiting)
