Ain't Waiting

Lyrics

Once upon a time in a land far, far away
 I tried to play but my heart in the way
 This part a little harder to say
 It's like the white girl trapped in a well
 Help is coming but it's scary as hell
 But very well, here go the fairy tale
 Now Cinderella want a fella who is not so ghetto
 So she follow bread crumbs like Hansel and Gretel
 Hello, that'll make her drop her underwear
 Dough longer than Rapunzel hair
 Everyone starin' when she walk in, she like
 (What you want?)
 Yo, I'm not gonna front, I be blunt, I'll my make that ass bump, I know that's
 (What they want)
 Me too with my hands up, she turn around like man up
 (Yeah, I am)
 But I know her from work, she pass by like he ain't that fly, you got
 (One more chance)
 To fall down the rabbit hole, let me take you to Wonderland
 Or I'll make us some other plans
 I don't wanna spend the night
 Trying to figure out how to spend my life
 I don't wanna spend my time
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
 Yeah, I don't wanna spend the night
 Trying to figure out how to spend my life
 I don't wanna spend my time
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
 Everybody say
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
 I made you a star, your light was shining, it's so right
 So bright that it dwarfed the chicks in Snow White
 So nice, got down with the team and now you one of us
 Got me singing like Prince, you sexy motherfucker
 You could be my princess bride, call you my buttercup
 I love when you letting me be the man
 Let me take you by the hand like Wendy in Peter Pan
 If you fly by night, that's right, I'll let you make a wish
 Eat you up like a favorite dish
 Man, I pray you not the wicked witch
 (Made it through)
 Situations where I broke my promise, but now I'm tryin' to be honest, love
 (So can you)
 Sometimes people evolve, but that involve knowing exactly
 (What you want)
 You might now wanna come and high five, givin' your partner
 (What they want)
 My life is an open book, you had a chapter, but will it end happily ever after?
 I don't wanna spend the night
 Trying to figure out how to spend my life
 I don't wanna spend my time
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
 I don't wanna spend the night
 Trying to figure out how to spend my life
 I don't wanna spend my time
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
 Everybody in the house say, say
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
 Come on, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Say it with me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Say it with me, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
 Life ain't a fairy tale
 Now they say sisters bitter and the brothers is grim
 Time to let the story end and let another begin
 I spun straw into gold like Rumpelstiltskin
 Still a hole in my soul that love won't fill in
 She Sleeping Beauty 'cause her eyes is closed
 Tried to sleep on your boy like Brian Rose
 Now she wild like the coconut know it
 And I'm lying like Pinocchio
 Gotta know when it's time to go, gotta know when it's
 (Here we are)
 We had some good times, had some Little Red Riding Hood times but
 (Once again)
 I'm the big bad wolf, don't hit me with the sad look, love
 (Here I am)
 I'm still the same old me but I don't know if we should give it
 (One more chance)
 To add another chapter, life ain't always happily ever
 I don't wanna spend the night
 Trying to figure out how to spend my life
 I don't wanna spend my time
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
 I don't wanna spend the night
 Trying to figure out how to spend my life
 I don't wanna spend my time
 Waiting for you, waiting for you
