Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, baby, where you goin'?
No, please don't rush off so soon
If you leave me like this
What I'm gonna do?
[Verse 2]
Finally my eyes are open
I dream about you all night long
The only thing that I've been hopin' for
Is 'fore you go to work, babe, we get it on
I ain't tryna make you blush, but I just wanted to tell ya
I think you're great
I know you're late, but I need another taste
BREAKFAST CAN WAIT
[Verse 3]
Grits and gravy (Grits and gravy)
Cheese, eggs, and jam (Oh)
Can't nobody cook it like you, girl (No)
No, ma'am
This here early morning
Need somethin' else on my plate (Little more on my plate)
I think I want another bite of you, babe
BREAKFAST CAN WAIT
[Verse 4]
BREAKFAST CAN WAIT
You really put it on me
You shut it down last night (Shut it down)
I thought the police was gon' come (Was it loud?)
Loud, yeah, quite (Ooh)
I ain't tryna make you blush
I just think you're great
Ain't no need to rush
BREAKFAST CAN WAIT
[Verse 5]
Finally my eyes are open
(Dream about you) I dream about you all night long
The only thing that I've been hopin' for
Is 'fore you go to work, babe, we get it on
I ain't tryna make you blush, but I just wanted to tell ya
I think you're great
I know you're late, but I need another taste
BREAKFAST CAN WAIT
[Verse 6]
Uh, hotcakes smothered in honey (Wait a minute)
Huh, I'm gon' have to pass (Why?)
Fresh cup of coffee, no, no
I'd rather have you in my glass (You in my glass)
Only thing that's gonna sweeten my tongue
Only thing that's gonna last now (No)
Is just another bite of you, babe
BREAKFAST CAN WAIT
You don't even have to act
[Verse 7]
Finally my eyes are open (Oh, yeah)
Dream about you, 'bout you all night long (Night long)
The only thing that I've been hopin' for
Is 'fore you go to work, babe, we get it on (Ooh-ooh)
I ain't tryna make you blush, but I just wanted to tell ya (Tell you)
I think you're great (Oh, yeah)
I know you're late, but I need another taste
BREAKFAST CAN WAIT
BREAKFAST CAN WAIT
[Verse 8]
Can't stop even if the police come (BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
I got a double time kick drum (Breakfast, breakfast)
You can't leave a black man in this state (BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
Oh, no (Breakfast, BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
[Verse 9]
Come here, baby, let me put you on my plate
Hey now (BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
Better call your job, yeah (BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
Tell 'em you're gon' be late
Yeah, yeah, yeah (BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
Prince is in charge now
Nice one (BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
(BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
(BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
[Verse 10]
You're the only thing I need (BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
Sweetness in my tongue
Come here, baby, let me show you where I'm comin' from
(BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (BREAKFAST CAN WAIT)
Oh, you know, you might need to pray for me
You might need to congregate
(Breakfast, BREAKFAST CAN WAIT) Hey, hey, yeah
