(Intro spoken)
Girl, I been waiting for the right time, now I see it’s here
You been on my mind, I had to make it clear
Knew you had somebody, so I played my role
Now you free tonight, and I’m not letting go
(Verse 1)
Saw you in the corner, I ain’t wanna cross the line
Knew you wasn’t single, so I kept it in my mind
But the way you move, girl, you been on my radar
I could read your smile from a mile, like a sonar
Now you walking in the room with no ring on your hand
I ain’t tryna waste time, girl, you know I’m that man
Every glance, every look, I can’t let it slide
Tonight’s the night I’m stepping to your side
(Chorus)
Girl, I been waiting for the right time, now I see it’s here
You been on my mind, I had to make it clear
Knew you had somebody, so I played my role
Now you free tonight, and I’m not letting go
Girl, I been waiting for the right time, now I see it’s here
You been on my mind, I had to make it clear
Knew you had somebody, so I played my role
Now you free tonight, and I’m not letting go
(Verse)
I ain’t tryna rush it, but I gotta take my shot
Life’s too short, and I want what I want
You know I been solid, never ran my mouth
Always kept it cool, never tried to call you out
But tonight is different, tables done turned
It’s my chance now, girl, lesson learned
So I’m leaning in close, whisper low in your ear
“I been waiting on this moment for years”
(Bridge)
All those nights I had to hold back
Now I’m here, and I can’t go back
You been mine in my head for so long
Now it’s real life, let me prove you wrong
(Chorus)
Girl, I been waiting for the right time, now I see it’s here
You been on my mind, I had to make it clear
Knew you had somebody, so I played my role
Now you free tonight, and I’m not letting go
Girl, I been waiting for the right time, now I see it’s here
You been on my mind, I had to make it clear
Knew you had somebody, so I played my role
Now you free tonight, and I’m not letting go
