lyrics

AH! HELLO BOYS AND GIRLS
I'M BACK!
I CAME TO TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY ABOUT
YOU GUESSED IT
THEM BOYS AND GIRLS
SOMETIMES THEM BOYS BE ACTING
SO CRAZY ON THEM GIRLS
WE BE LIKE
STOP BOSS HOGGIN’ ME DOG
STOP BOSS HOGGIN’

8:30 ON THE DOT
YOU AT THE SPOT
I'M RUNNING LATE AS USUAL
CASUAL. FEELIN’IT
IM SPRAYING ON MY GOOD SHIT
LOVE TO KEEP YOU WAITING
YOU’RE CALLING ME
ON MY CELL PHONE
I HATE THE TELEPHONE
ALWAYS TRYING TO HOLD ME
ALWAYS TRYING TO HOLD ME DOWN
ALWAYS TRYING TO HOLD ME DOWN
WHAT I TELL YOU BOUT
CALLING IN THE DAYTIME
CAN’T YOU WAIT ‘TIL AFTER 9
RUNNING UP MY MINUTES?
I GOTTA TEACH YOU SOME MANNERS (DAVID BANNER)
COMIN AT ME LIKE IM LIL FLIP
ALL UP IN MY BIDNESS
PLEASE
YEAH I'M ALMOST THERE
YEAH I'M ON MY WAY
YEAH OKAY OKAY
MM HMM OKAY OKAY DAMN!
I GOTTA SET THIS BROTHER RIGHT
BEFORE WE GO OUT TONIGHT
HE GOTTA LEARN A LITTLE PATIENCE

IF YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR LOVE
THEN YOU’LL NEVER LOVE
AND IF YOU NEVER LOVE
THEN YOU’LL NEVER GET NONE
AND IF YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR LOVE
THEN YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR ME
YA YA YA YA

CUZ THE LOVE THAT’S FOR ME IS UNDERSTANDING
LIKE WHEN I’M DOING WRONG
THEN YOU BETTER ACT DUMB
IF YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR LOVE
THEN YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR ME
YA YA YA YA YA

9:30 TWO HOURS LATE
FOR OUR DATE
BUT I’M LOOKING GREAT!
THE DRESS IS VINTAGE
MY SHOES TOO
MY HAIR IS IN AN UP-DO
SUCH A CLASSY LADY
THERE YOU ARE
IN THE BACK
THIS TABLE’S WHACK
IS IT CUZ WE BLACK?
ALWAYS TRYING TO HOLD US DOWN
THEY ALWAYS TRYING TO HOLD US DOWN.

BEFORE YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH
CAN I PLACE MY ORDER?
I’D LIKE A CAESAR SALAD
EXTRA CROUTONS WITH DRESSING
ON THE SIDE FOR DIPPING
AND THEN I’LL HAVE THE SURF AND TURF
MEDIUM RARE
I LIKE MY MEAT A LITTLE BLOODY THANKS!
I GOT A MEETING IN THE LADIES ROOM
I’LL BE BACK REAL SOON
LIKE WHEN MY FOOD COME OUT OKAY?
THESE BOYS GOTTA LEARN
THEY CAN’T HAVE IT WHEN THEY WANT IT
THEY CAN GET IT WHEN I BRING IT TO ‘EM
OKAY?!

IF YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR LOVE
THEN YOU’LL NEVER LOVE
AND IF YOU NEVER LOVE
THEN YOU’LL NEVER GET NONE
AND IF YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR LOVE
THEN YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR ME
YA YA YA YA YA YA

CUZ THE LOVE THAT’S FOR ME IS UNDERSTANDING
LIKE WHEN I’M DOING WRONG
THEN YOU BETTER ACT DUMB
IF YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR LOVE
THEN YOU CAN’T WAIT FOR ME
YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA
YA YA

OH WELL YOU SEE BOYS AND GIRLS
THE RULES TO THE GAME ARE QUITE SIMPLE
YOU WIN SOME YOU LOSE SOME
YOU TAKE SOME YOU SNOOZE SOME
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY
ONE ALWAYS COMES OUT THE WINNER
AND I THINK THE WINNER SHOULD BE MOI!
